Hello @Aleena Ayub 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Some of the third party apps that help you manage recurring tasks will remain free if you using the Free plan and remain at 10 users or less. Here are a couple:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213050/recurring-tasks-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223680/issue-scheduler-plan-recurring-tasks?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing

More may be found by searching the Atlassian Marketplace.

You could also use an Automation Rule to recreate the tasks on a schedule.

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-cloud-automation/

However in the Free subscription you will be limited to 100 rule executions in a month for your entire Jira system. After you hit 100 executions no more rules will execute until the next month.

Hi @Aleena Ayub

Welcome to the community!

Jira Automation is your friend for this automation.

You can see this rule to get started

https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library/rules#/rule/1363678

For Trigger, you can use Scheduled Trigger

Instead of Create Sub-task, use Create Issue to create your issues.

Hope this helps!
