It's possibile to create a subtask of task that is created via automation?

[Giurgola Diego]

Hello all, I have a simple automation rule that should work like this:

IF an epic is created

THEN create

- task1
- task2
- task3

Now, I would like that this rule could also open a subtask of task1, but I only managed to open the subtask under the EPIC. Is there any way to achive this kind of automation?

Thanks!

Hi Giurgola,

Yes, you can achieve this using the branch rule / related issues feature after each task and for Type of related issues, select Most recently created issue and then create an action to create the subtask.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Hi Diego,

Branching into related issues in this way only works until one level deep unfortunately. However, you could solve this by creating a new automation that triggers on the creation of task1.

Some pointers:

• You will have to include a condition (or scope the rule) that ensures you are in the task op an Epic in the correct project.
• The rule should be possible to trigger from another rule: It's a check somewhere in the rule details.

Hope you can get started with this?
