Automated creation of tasks based on the Input

imtiyaz_shaik

Hi,

Wondering if i can get some direction on how can a set of tasks be created, conditionally. To be precise, let's say a User Story is to create a few tasks, Task#1 for Analysis, Task#2 for Build & UT, Task#3 for Testing, Task#4 for production deployment based on a confirmation of which of these are required and be created. In some scenarios all the tasks are needed but in other scenarios just a couple of tasks alone are required.

So, can this be controlled through custom column(s)? One way that i know this can be achieved is through a custom column "Automate task creation?" Yes or No but this serves the purpose to an extent only.

Appreciate expert suggestions on what components can be used and the order of it. Thanks!!

Hi @imtiyaz_shaik ,

I don't understand your reference to "columns". You could use a label, custom field, Components, etc. to use in a condition within your automation rule to decide which issues get which subtasks.
