Jira automation - Multiple layers of issues in 1 rule

Chris F

Hi team,

I'm trying to set up the automatic creation of issues within Jira that would act as a 'service onboarding' checklist. In theory it would work something like:

If an Outcome is created (custom issue type above Epic/Feature)

Then create 4 Epics

For each of those epics

Create 3 Stories/Tasks

 

I've tried experimenting with a few options to have this all work in 1 rule but I haven't been successful. I could split this off into 2 rules but I was hoping to keep things neat.

 

Any guidance/help is appreciated.

Hello @Chris F 

If the most important thing for you is to keep it in one rule, you can sequence your rule this way:

• When an outcome is created
• Then create 1 Epic
• For the most recently created issue
  •    -Then Create a story
  •    -Then Create a story
  •    -Then Create a story
• Then create 1 Epic
• For the most recently created issue
  •    -Then Create a story
  •    -Then Create a story
  •    -Then Create a story

etc...

I hope this can be useful, let me know if it's the case

Bests,

JM
