How to automate sub-task creation after time logging

[olsa]

Hello community,

Is it possible to setup Jira to be able to get the following:

1. Let's say there is a general Task "Onboarding"
2. When any user log his time into that Task the subtask is automatically created with the user's logged time

Is it possible to configure?

And when the same user will log his time again, will the log be added to the existing subtask or a new subtask will be created?

Hi @olsa and welcome to the community!

Although your question is for server, I believe that jira automation has more or like the same functionalities with the cloud. I've manage to do what you want by using Jira Automation and set up a rule like the following one:

Make sure to edit the value of the remaining estimate as well, in order to have proper results.

Let me know if that helped!

Thanks, Alex!

it seems for Jira Cloud the Automation is built-in but for Jira Server I need to install/buy the Automation

If you have scriptrunner you could also do that, but you have to write some code.

Yes, I have it.

For sure I need to deep dive in script runner documentation to implement what I need but maybe you have some recommendations regarding it or where exactly to dig?

Anyway thanks for your help!
