Checklist that generates subtasks

Jonathan Chatwin_qkogfg

Hello,

In Jira Server I'm trying to create with the following 3 apps: Checklist, Automation and JMWE, a checklist that appears on a transition screen and based on which checklist (or jira base checkbox custom field) items are checked, create corresponding subtasks for each checkbox checked. 

So transition screen -> Checklist -> Based on items checked -> Create new subtasks with description set from issue being transitioned. 3 items checked = 3 subtasks

Don't have scriptrunner but have the 3 addons above. 

Any thoughts? 

 

Added the comment below: 

So in the transition I'm using the validator for Checklist to see if checklist items >= 1. Then in the post funciton I am using the Create/Clone JMWE function. I am then selecting the caluclated create issue. Inside of that I'm looking at the ChecklistItem Interface and wondering how to iterate over the checklist and for each option then creating a subtask for each of the 10 options in the checklist.

Hi Jonathan,

 

Developer from Automation for Jira here.

Since you mentioned the field mapping to a "jira base checkbox custom field" you can use the guide above, alternatively you could also use our JQL condition to perform any check you can write with JQL.

It's possible to achieve this functionality by using 3 seperate if/else blocks which each check if your checkbox contains one of the checked fields. We have a new issue condition field which makes this easier with select fields/checkboxes, which you can see in my screenshots below. Your rule would be something like this:

• Trigger: Issue transitioned
• If/else block
  • Issue condition: (You could alternatively use our JQL condition that looks for the selected checkbox field)
    • Field: Your condition field
    • Condition: Contains
    • Value to compare: First field selection
  • Create sub-task
    • Add your sub-task and you can access fields from the issue using one of our smart values e.g. {{triggerIssue.description}}
    • Clicking on add fields will let you set multiple issue condition fields
• if/else block
  • Same as the above with Second field selection value
• if/else block
  • Same as the above with Third field selection value
