Automation - Scheduled create task + subtask

Nina Schuessler

Greetings community

Hope one of yous can help me out as I'm hitting a wall. I'm fairly new to automations and totes struggling with this one. What I'm trying to achieve is to have a task created at a certain date which also generates sub-tasks. However, I'm falling over at the JQL part and don't fully understand the error message (see attached). Thanking you already.

Hi @Nina Schuessler and welcome to the community,

The error you are getting means that Jira can't identify the (parent) issue to which the new subtasks must be associated with. Subtasks can't exist alone. They must have a parent.

Try adding a "branching" component before creating the subtasks and as a branch choose "current issue" and inside that branch place the "create subtask component"
