How to create Tasks automatically under User story?

Question

Team,

May I know if there is a way to create tasks automatically when I create User story in JIRA.

Scenario:

I want to have generic tasks created for every user story as below ex:

Design

Coding

Unit testing

Test case writing

Test case executions

Thanks

Hey Neeraja and welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am sure you can do that in an automation rule. You would have the trigger to be issue created and a condition that the type is a user story. Then you would have actions of create issue for each task you want to create and then after each create you would have a link issue action which links the user story with your most recently created issue.

Trigger: Issue Created

Condition: Type == User story

Action: Create Issue

Action: Link Issue (to most recently created issue)

Repeat the last two actions for every issue you want to create
