Jira Automation with subtasks

unknown

I have created one issue with couple of subtasks. Now I want to create this issue type along with subtasks on every month. I have tried to create a automation rule but did not work. Please suggest how I can create a recurring issues with the same set of issue and subtasks within. thanks

Hi @[deleted]

If there is no JQL in the scheduled trigger the rule could not reference any issue. (as other rules are often triggered by an issue this issue key then is in the context of {{issue}} for the rule like kinda variable)

I would suggest following approach (built that in my system):

add a jql to the trigger that only looks for the key of the parent you´d like to clone (this will bring the original/template issue into {{issue}} context)
clone that one
branch for sub-tasks
action: clone issue
- fields in JSON needs to be configured to point to new parent which in this case is the recently created issue --> can be done with smart value

Hope this helps.

In case anything doesn´t work please consider to document and add screenshots and other docs (like in this case the JSON). This would be necessary and helpful to analyze the problem and find a solution.

Guess there is just some misspelling or some characters missing in the JSON.

@Stefan Salzl not able to understand what issue exactly is. I have tried by manually creating subtasks for each subtasks as well but it goes to parent ticket from which I am trying to clone.
