How can I create sub task using Post function in Workflow?

Hi Shib,

Unfortunately, in Jira Cloud Standard, you cannot create sub-tasks directly using a post function in a workflow without using add-ons or custom scripts. Jira Cloud's out-of-the-box functionality for workflow post functions does not include an option to create sub-tasks.

Hi @Ramya Srinivas , Better use the Jira automation for creation a sub-task after transitioning the issue to a certain status.

If you want to see how it can be done using the post function, here is the article for the same: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Create-sub-task-on-workflow-transition/qaq-p/1449436

If you have any additional plugins you can achieve this f.e. if you have scriptrunner there is special postfunction which can do it for you

i didn't saw that you're on cloud free tier but  ithink you can do it with automation rules

Yeah, you can create it with very simple automation rule like this :
