How to create a recurrent task in Jira for a limited number of times

[Adriana Ramirez]

Is there an easy and simple way to create a recurring task in Jira but limited to 30 times only? (as an example: end after X number of times)

Hi @Adriana Ramirez 

Yes; I can think of at least 3 ways to do that:

1. manually create the ones you need, when you need them
2. import them all at once from a CSV file
3. create an automation rule, such as on a schedule, which halts after adding what is needed

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy 

Thanks for your help.

How to execute "#3. create an automation rule, such as on a schedule, which halts after adding what is needed". I've found some information on automation but not found how to configure to stop after adding the task 30 times for example.

kind regards,

To create your stopping condition you need some criteria, such as date/time or count. 

For example, if you wanted to do this by date/time, as scheduled trigger could be used to only run for a certain amount of time and then stop (such as using a condition).

For count, you need some way to indicate the count in the issue with a field (or project with entity properties).  Then use JQL to detect when there are still more issues to create.
