Can I automate a sub-task when another sub-task status is labeled done?

Question

I have an impediment with a sub-task automated when a request comes in. What I was wondering is if the status of that sub-task gets set to Done, can another sub-task be automatically created?

Think of it like, a request comes in, Request Received sub-task is auto created. Once the team member goes into that sub-task and flips that status do Done, I would need a another sub-task called develop report to be automatically created. Thank you!

I have three boards for three different departments, will it cause issues let's say for boards 1 and 2 if I wanted things done for board 3? Thanks!

Would you be able to share what I need to do to get that started? Thank you!

Hi Ankur,

Yes, you can do that, but you will need a second automation rule. It would be based on an Issue Transitioned trigger. Add any Conditions as needed and then an action to create a new issue.
