Create Multiple Sub-Tasks Repetitively

[Kirk Eisele]

We have tasks that create work for multiple services. Is there a way to create a batch of default subtasks that can be attached with fewer clicks?

Hi Kirk,

Alexey is correct, you will need an app for this.

I recommend something more user-friendly like: Automatic subtasks pro

Hope this helps

Hello,

You would need an add-on for it.

For example, you could use the Power Scripts add-on:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/43318/power-scripts-jira-script-automation?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

You could create a script with a code like this:

string parent_key;
string issue_type = "Story";
string issue_summary = "Sample Issue #";
string priotity;
string issue_description = "";
string[] components;
date dueDate;
interval estimate;
string securityLevel;
string[] issue_fields_mapping;

for(number count = 1; count <= 100; count ++) {
 //createIssue(projectKey, parentIssueKey, issueType, summary, priority, description, components, due date, estimate, security_level, custom_fields_mappings)
 string new_sum = issue_summary + trim(count);
 string newIssue = createIssue(project, parent_key, issue_type, new_sum, priority, issue_description, components, dueDate, securityLevel, issue_fields_mapping);
}
