Jira Automation Rule - Create Sub Task only when Story in Active Sprint and don't create duplicate

Keyun Mistry

I'm trying to build a rule for our Sprint team where when issue moved to Active Sprint, then it creates a Subtask.

Now I wanted to make sure that if issue move back to backlog and when it bring it back to Active Sprint again AND if subtask exists then I don't want rule to create a duplicate sub task again.

How can I do that. I was able to build a rule that will create sub task but I'm struggling on doing validation of Parent ticket to see if specific sub-task exist then don't create a ticket again.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello @Keyun Mistry

Please share screenshot of your rule so we can help. But generally you can just do a:

If -> smart value condition,
- {{issue.subtasks.size}}
- GREATER THAN
- 0
If -> smart value condition,
- {{issue.subtasks.summary}}
- DOES NOT CONTAIN
- "your string"

Only then create your subtask.

But share your current rule so community can help.

Thanks!

Hi @Kalyan Sattaluri

I tried what you said above and it didn't work. Here is my setup. Basically, I have a Story that start with "Validate - xxxx" and when it gets assigned to Active Sprint, then I wanted this rule to create Sub Task and make sure that we don't create duplicate if there is already subtask exists with "validate" as Summary of Subtask. I hope this help.

Hello @Keyun Mistry

Did your sample issue already have a sub-task or no?

Either way, looking at the rule, you can remove the {{issue.subtasks.size}} > 0 check...

Because it will only create if any of subtasks dont have "Validate" string in it..

And leave your other checks in place and run your rule.. and share your findings..

Thanks!

Hi @Kalyan Sattaluri

No at first it will not have a subtask but my goal is to create one when Story get assigned to the Active Sprint only.

here is what I wanted to build.

IF -> Sprint in openSprints() -- Active Sprint

Story summary start with Validate
No subtask where Summary like Validate
THEN create a subtask ticket

ELSE

Do nothing
