Trigger multiple subtask with different custom fields

[Ratan Singh]

I need to create an epic which automatically triggers multiple subtask.

Under each subtask there are multiple questions and a paragraph field to answer.

Each subtask contains multiple different set of questions and paragraph field.

What I have done.

Step 1> Created custom field for specific subtask. For example:

SubTask1: Data Resources is a tab under which there are two questions:

1. What Data is required?

2. Data Minimization

Subtask2: Handover and Feedback is a tab under which there are two questions:

1. Handover

2. Feedbacks

Step 2> I have created two issue type Subtask1 and Subtask2.

Step 3> I have created screens, Schema and Work Type Schema.

Step 4> I have associated it with my projext.

But, it still does not work. What next steps can be taken?

Hi @Ratan Singh 

To automatically trigger the creation of multiple subtasks with different custom fields when you create an Epic (or any parent issue), you need to use Jira Automation. Here’s a step-by-step guide and some important considerations based on Atlassian documentation and best practices:

Automation Rule Setup

• Trigger:
  Set the trigger to "Issue Created" and specify the Epic issue type (or your parent issue type).

• Branching:
  For each subtask you want to create (e.g., "Data Resources", "Handover and Feedback"), add a "Create Issue" action within the rule.

  • You can create multiple "Create Issue" actions, each configured for a different subtask type and with its own custom fields.

• Custom Fields:
  When configuring each "Create Issue" action, set the values for the custom fields relevant to that subtask.

  • Make sure the custom fields are available on the subtask’s screen and are not restricted by permissions or context.
