Jira automation : Creating a linked issue with subtasks

Question

Greetings !

Here's my problem.  When an issue is created by user, I want an automation to run and create 2 new issues with subtaks in those new issues.  Something like :

Issue A is created by user ....

Issue B is created by automation

* Subtask B.1
* Subtask B.2

Issue C is created by automation

* Subtask C.1
* Subtask C.2

I have no problem creating B and C and linking A, but I'm not able to populate the subtasks under B and C.  Should I use advanced fields in JSON ?  Is it even possible ?

Thanks for your time
