Jira automation for creating tasks. Can you create 1 create task template that is used X number ?

[Stephen C Hauer]

Hey guys,

Im looking for a way to create X number of tasks based upon a custom field I created. Ideally the automation would look at a create task template I created and then create a duplicate of that task X number of times. 

For instance If I specified, created 10 tasks from this task. It would duplicate all relevant data from the parent task. Right now I have a manual solution working using manual triggers. However this is not a flexible solution. I would love to know the best way to handle this kind of process. 

For this example Im filtering by the +5 custom field I created. To make this work currently I have to manually create 5 create task components. All of them will have the same settings so it feels silly I have to set this up.

I would love to know the right way to handle this!

As an alternative to solve this issue, you can try Business Process Manager, developed by my team.

1. You need to create the Template with the elements you need in your task.

2. After filling the Template, save changes and tune schedules.

3. You can start a Process on a certain date, or repeat it daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly.

Hope. it will be helpful.
