Hello! I'm trying to automate an epic ticket structure template when new epics are created. I've successfully automated the creation of standard tasks when a new epic is created, however, I am trying to automatically create standard subtasks within each of the epic tasks. I thought using two automations would work here: 1) Generate the tasks for new epics under my project - this WORKS 2) Use the task names to trigger subtask creations in a new automation: This second automation is not working because it is recognizing the epic creation and not the individual task creations. So it is not triggering because the epic ticket is not a "task" issue type. Is anyone able to help me figure out how to get the task creation recognized via the epic creation? I'm trying not to use 3rd party apps. Thanks!

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How do I automate subtask creation on automatically-generated tasks attached to newly created epics?
