Split Issues summary into subtasks

[Ražošana 3D]

Hey, I wanted to set up small automation but unfortunately don't have the expertise to do it myself, maybe someone could help?

The task is created by pulling information from API and the goal is to see if the task summary contains one item or an array of items and if so, separate them into multiple subtasks

To check if the task is an array I could use ISSUE FIELD CONDITION and check if the task summary contains ","

The task is created with the name :
A , B , C

The goal is to create subtasks for all objects in the array :
A
B
C

Is there a function that could do it?

Hi @Ražošana 3D and welcome to the community.

You'll want to leverage the "Split" smart value.  It would work something like this:

• TRIGGER: Issue Created
• BRANCH (Advanced)

  • {{issue.summary.split(",")}}
    varSummary

  • ACTION: Create Issue
    • Issue Type: Sub-Task
    • Summary

      • {{varSummary}}
