Hi, @Chander Korshika

We have opened a Support Request SUPPORT-2510 for this issue and request you to please sign in to the portal and provide the email id so that we can add you as the participant for SUPPORT-2510. You will receive further updates in the SUPPORT-2510 ticket.

Please note that you will not be able to create "x" number of sub-tasks based on numeric field, but will be able to create sub-tasks based on the list of values. For example, if you have a component field with the values X, Y, Z then we will be able to use the create on transition post-function to create sub-tasks for each component. Please see the below screenshot for reference.

Note: In the above screenshot the original_components (gets the list of components in the parent issue) and %entry% on the components field will supply each value to be set to the sub-task

Also please see the page Create multiple issues for reference.

Regards
Sudhir

@Sudhir_Appfire_ I'm aware of the above solution but i'm needing to create sub-tasks based of a numeric field depending on the value of that field.I think with script we can achieve it.Please suggest me if you have any-other solution for it.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Hi, @Chander Korshika,

Hope you are doing good!

Currently, we do not have the option to create sub-tasks based on a numeric value for a given custom field.

We created a new feature request CSOT-865 for the same with our development team.

Please add yourself as the watcher to the request to get the future updates.

Note: If you are unable to access the request, please try to access the request from an incognito window or try to log out of our support portal and then try to access the link.

Hi Chander,

Thanks for reaching out. Using our Create on Transition for Jira Server app, you can do this very easily.

Here's how you can do this: This is accomplished by using the function that produces a comma-separated list of numbers. This can be used on the multiple issue field.

%function_list(startNumber, endNumber)%

Examples:

%function_list(10,15.9)%

Result: 10,11,12,13,14,15
Notes: non-integer values converted to integers

%function_list(1, %custom_number%)%

Result: 1,2,3,4
Notes: For custom field: custom_number = 4

Full disclosure: I am the product manager for this app.

Thanks, Nishanth T
