How to create a post function to create issue after a transition to a new status in Jira Cloud

Question

Hi Guyz,

I want to create a post function to create an issue.

Usercase: automatically creates a task in another project.

Unfortunately in Jira cloud I am not able to see the option to create an issue in post function.

If its possible to create script, how do I do that. I am beginner, but if you can give me some direction I can pick it up and try that.

Help :)  and thanks in advance

PS: I dont want to use Script runner (Just for this task, I cant pay for 400+ users)

Hi,
You can achieve this through automation for Jira. Set a rule which triggers when the issue is transitioned from one state to another and set the action to create a new issue in your desired project. You can find the app here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215460/automation-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview

This app is now being made native for Jira and Jira service desk. You probably will be able to find it under your project settings.
