How to create epics with default user story and file attachment?

Question

Hello

I would like to use EPICs across various Jira projects. When an EPIC gets created in any of the specified projects, I would want for this EPIC to contain a default story and for that story to have a default attachment.

I would think that this request may require programmatic changes.

Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

@Vikrant Yadav I really appreciate your answer. I maybe wasn't clear enough on my first part.

Say I have projects a, b, c. If anyone is creating an epic in any of these projects I would like to ensure that during EPIC creation, a story gets created automatically. The Story should have a summary of course, maybe a very brief description and I would like to ensure that a document template is also attached during creation.

Would you mind refining your answer based on the additional information?

Thanks a lot in advance

Using Post function in workflow you can achieve this.

@svietz  Yes, it's possible to create EPIC across different projects. For this you need a Plugin Script Runner or JSU. Both plugin provides cloning
