Hi All,
Is it possible to make a configuration that when I delete an epic, the tasks and sub-tasks are also deleted automatically? if not, anyone knows a workaround?
thanks
Hi Christian, deleting issues is almost always a bad idea since once gone it is gone. If you subscribe to this philosophy then adding automation Takes the bad idea to a whole new level....giving a robot a gun. 😉
all that warning aside, given you are on Cloud you do have Project Automation. I would suggest you start there and see if your requirements can be achieved.
Hi Christian - Just to echo Jack's comments - I really would not delete issues. The only time we do it is for purely test purposes to try out something like a new workflow. And we only delete it to not interfere with metrics. Even then, only Jira System Administrators can delete something.Â
We would CERTAINLY never do it as a part of automation.
Just curious - why would you want to delete them as a matter of process?
Hi @John Funk
Right, as a process.We are an e-sports company and we are constantly organizing new tournaments for large companies. Every new tournament should be represented as a project in Jira, but since all projects are not the same and certain projects have different phases (Epics) e.g. planning, online, offline... we have created a "template" with all Epics, Tasks, Sub-Tasks and exported it as CSV and would like to import it when creating a project. However, not all epics (phases) are always needed, so we thought it would be easier than modifying the import if you could just delete an epic and also the tasks and sub-tasks it doesn't need.
cheers
I understand now. You can certainly do what you are looking to do using Automation For Jira. And it is now free as a part of Jira Cloud.
thank you!
