On Sub Task creation, how to inherit some fields from Parent (Task)

Rishabh Jain_032677

Our tech team creates subtasks for each task raised by the product team, the problem is that they have to create it from scratch.
Can there be a solution basis which whenever a subtask is created it inherits some fields from the task, that will make it easier for them to create multiple subtasks easily.

Hi @Rishabh Jain ,

Yes, you can create Jira automation to copy the field value from the parent of the newly created subtask. You can follow this sample automation:

Create an automation:

When: Issue created

Condition: Issue fields condition - Issuetype equals to subtask

Then: Edit issue -

Choose fields (fields you want to copy from parent)

Click the (...) then COPY

Click the fields then Issue Copy value from "Parent issue"

Hope it helps!
