I have a file in which some content is there, I have uploaded that file to ROVO custom agent which i have created with skill as to create work item, But while creating the sub-task under that story it is giving the below error:

"Create Jira Issue with any field failed because issuetype: Issue type is a sub-task but parent issue key or id not specified."

 

While I have provided Provided Parent ID/key to it many time with different different prompts but is is giving the same error and do not create the sub-task!

Hi @Puneet Upadhyay 

Can you tell us a bit more about your agent? Behaviors, scenarios, how it works etc?

Hello @Puneet Upadhyay 

First, make sure you are using Rovo chat for this. Then give it a simple prompt:

"Create 3 sub-tasks under the work item key <insert your work item key here>"

@Puneet Upadhyay 

Is this error showing on the other Jira spaces as well, or only that specific one?
