Automatically create subtasks for multiple people

Ekaterina Georgieva

Good afternoon!

In our company we use the JIRA application, in one of the created projects there is a large number of tasks and subtasks that will grow as we work.
To facilitate the work and reduce the time to create subtasks, we began to create them using automation.
This helped a lot, but subtasks are created only for one person using this automation.
Tell me, please, is it possible to make it so that when filling out a multi-user field, its own subtask is created for each of the different users?
That is, so that when creating subtasks using automation, is it possible to create subtask data for two or more users?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Ekaterina Georgieva -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For a question like this, please consider posting images of your automation rule and the audit log. That will provide context for the community to offer ideas. Thanks!

Given what you have described, I believe you could either use advanced branching or individually pull the values out of the multi-user field using list functions to assign to the new subtasks.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Ekaterina Georgieva,

It sounds like the script that is created for automation having user id of a specific user. Please try changing it to current user.

@Ekaterina Georgieva Could you share which option worked ? I want to create task for multiple users on sprint creation. Right now I am able to create a task on sprint creation but want that same task to be assigned to 10 users.

Hi @Rohit Kumar -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Do you mean you want 10 new tasks, one each assigned to a different user?

If so, what is the source of the list of users? Is it a multi-select user field, as with the original question in this thread?

Kind regards,
Bill
