Creating fixed tasks when create a new sale

Ahmet Kuran

I have some tasks to do which are when sale start. Those tasks are same for all sales. When i create a new sale, i want from jira to create all fixed tasks. After that, i want these created tasks to be assigned to the relevant columns on sales board. Is that possible on cloud?

Hi @Ahmet Kuran

Depending on how you create those tasks and relate them to a sale - have you tried using Automation for Jira?

To access this at a project-level, you'll need to be a Project Admin and then:

1. Go to your Project Settings
2. On the left-hand menu, select Project Automation (near the bottom of list)
3. Press "Create Rule" in the top-right to get started

You can create rules which trigger an action depending on certain conditions - for example:

• Trigger: Issue created
• Condition: Issue field condition - if issue type equals Sale
• Action: Create issue - sub-task of Sale
• Action: Create issue - sub-task of Sale

^ Repeat the action as many times as you need to to create the tasks. You can create standard tasks also and link them back using linkedissues (for example).

For the second requirement you could add more rules - or you could test using the Branch option in the first rule and see if there's a method to add them in there.

If you want to apply these rules globally, you'll need to be a Jira Admin. You can access them either from the project rules list (Global Administration is a hyperlink at the top of the page) or from Jira Settings > System > Automation Rules on the left-hand menu.

Just remember global rules have executions limits per month - 100 for Free, 500 for Standard and 1000 per user per month for Premium. Project rules have unlimited executions.
