HELP !! - Sub Task creation for another task

Question

Hi all

this is probably really simple but its driving me mad!

I have a Sub Task that i need to use as a trigger to create another sub task that sits under a different task but i cant get the automation logic right to "find" the other task.

example -

* Task 1 - Development
* Sub Task 1 - Dev Check - transitions from In Progress to Done
* Task 2 - Testing 
* Sub Task 2 - start plan - this is created at the point of transition of sub task 1

any help would be really appreciated

Hi Nic

So my understanding to the Epic Parent is that it will find the Epic Parent of the current issue.

My thinking was that as the Subtask "- Design Solution" has been transitioned to Done the rule would look for the Epic and then look for a Summary called "-Testing" and create a sub task.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do with "branch to epic parent"?

Thanks @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I have used the trigger - Transition from "In Progress" -> "Done"

and the summary contains "In Design"

Branch to Epic Parent

if the summary contains "- Testing"

Create sub task

but it still fails at the branch for Epic Parent
