Automation to set status of subtask

Pauline Hild

Hi everyone,

I'm already using an automation rule that creates subtasks automatically. I now would like to add another automation that sets a specific status to each of the subtasks. So in the end, I want every automatically created subtask to start with a specific status.

Is there a way to create an automation rule like that?

Kind regards,

Pauline

Hi @Pauline Hild - You would need to Branch into each sub-task and then perform a Transition Issue action to transition to the desired status.

If you need additional help, please share a screen shot of your rule.

Hi @Pauline Hild - You can also do this by having a different rule that is triggered by the Subtask creation (with appropriate constraints, of course). The key is to check the Allow rule trigger box for your status-setting rule, as illustrated here:

Hi @Pauline Hild - You'll want to move the create new sub-task above the branch. It wouldn't hurt to add a re-fetch just before the branch as well.

Ok, I tried it out and it worked for one subtask but there must be problem with the rest because all subtasks got the same status as the first one and I don't know why. Do you see the mistake?
