How can I create a sub-task Template for JIRA Cloud?

JD Lobue

Upon creation of a certain user type, I'd like to have common sub-tasks automatically available and linked to the created issue. We are using Jira Cloud. If someone has done this can you assist? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You would need a plugin for it. There are multiple plugins in the marketplace: Power Scripts, ScriptRunner, Automation for Jira.

If you want to use the Power Scripts plugin, then you could create a post function with a code like this:

//Possible values: "Major", "Critical" etc.

string issue_description;

string[] issue_components;string issue_security_level;

string[] custom_fields_mapping; 

issue_priority =<span>&nbsp;</span>"Critical";

issue_description =<span>&nbsp;</span>"Description of the issue";

issue_components = components;<span>&nbsp;</span>//an array containing all the components of the current project

issue_security_level =<span>&nbsp;</span>"Administrator";

custom_fields_mapping =<span>&nbsp;</span>"customfield_12345|fmanaila|customfield_12346|jira-users";

string k = createIssue(

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"PROJECT",

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;key,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Sub-task",

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Summary of the sub task" ,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;issue_priority,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;issue_description,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;issue_components,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;currentDate() +<span>&nbsp;</span>"30d",

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;issue_security_level,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;custom_fields_mapping&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;);

string issue_priority;

This post function would create a subtask for the current issue.
