Automatically creates subtasks/subissue when a specific issue is created

Patrick Escher

Hi All,

We are planning to use Jira for our complete development process and not only for issue/task tracking. This would require that we create structured jira issues.

I am looking for a functionality which does the following:

Once the user creates an issues for tracking a new feature, predefined subtasks and/or subissues are created and linked to the parent task.

Our structure might look like this

Feature

- Implementation Task

- create jUnits Task

- Knowledge Transfer Task

- create Testcases Task

-etc.etc

if somebody has an idea on how to do this automatically or knows a plugin or has an better idea to do such a Feature planning/tracking, please let me know

THanks in advance,

Patrick

There are a lot of Groovy scripts posted in the previous forums to do this, but the easiest way is to use the Script Runner built-in script called "Create a sub-task". You'd invoke this as a post-function in the appropriate workflow transition.
