Question: Automatic subtasks creation

jmmuguiro@knowt
jmmuguiro@knowtion.biz May 16, 2012

Due to my business operation I need to create two subtasks on EVERY issue I register on my JIRA environment (one for DESIGN activities and one more for TESTING activities).

This represents an administrative overhead for my team, besides there is a human-error risk implied.

My question is, is there a way to create subtask automatically when I create an Issue on JIRA?

If not, what other ways could I take to solve this problem?

Thank you

Hello Jamie, I have a question about the subtask creation with the post-function script. How can I set the assignee for the subtask when it is created automatically. I tried this in the 'Additional issue actions': issue.assignee = 'anyUser' but it doesn't work, I tried several ways, but no luck, How can I achieve this? Thank you.

You;ll want: issue.assigneeId = 'someuser' I notice you have tagged "ondemand", presumably that's a mistake?

Yes that was a mistake, I didn't tagged that. I already try that way, with issue.assigneeId, but that didn't work either, the issue is still unassign ,am I doing something wrong?

Jira version: 6.3.4
Script Runner version: 3.0.5

And this is part of the log that is throwing an error when the parent issue is created, but I don't see a relation with that:
