Rule automation - creating child issues

Dorothy Callahan

Hi all,

We have some epics, when created to a specific component, will always have the same child issues.  I was hoping to create automation rule when an epic is created to this specific component then create defined child issues.  It would behave in the same manner as the "Create Sub-tasks" template but instead when issue created issue type Epic create child issues completing summary and fields.

 

Thanks

Hi @Dorothy Callahan ,

do you have a rule that you are working on that is falling short? Based on what you have stated here it should be pretty straightforward to edit the template. It seems like the only thing you need is to check if the issue type is an epic, and if a certain component is set. Then you simply create your child issues and edit the necessary values to meet your needs. it might be easier for me to provide feedback if I had a starting point rule to work from.
