How to automize to have several grandchild ticket ?

Pauline LE RAY

Hi !

I would like to automate the creation of several stories that also have children tasks, for exemple, when I trigger an Epic, I want it to create one children that would be a story, and this story should create two tasks:

Epic
- Story
  - Task 1
  - Task 2

I hope this is clear

Thank you for your help !

Pauline

Hi Pauline - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You cannot create Tasks as children of Stories - they sit at the same level in Jira and under Agile principles. You can create Sub-tasks under Stories, though.

Hello @Pauline LE RAY

I'm joining John's opinion: If you want to create a Task (level 0) as a child of another Story (Level 0), it's not possible.

However, if for some how, in your instance a Task is at Level -1, meaning it is considered a sub-task, then you can achieve this through automation.

You can do it with an automation rule like this:

Manually trigger the rule.
If issuetype = Epic, then create a Story with parent = {{trigger.issue}}.
Refresh the data.
Create a Task with parent = {{createdIssue}}.
