Dear reader,
Before i came here i had already tried myself. I also consulted this supportsite and Copilot and even our internal support team that offers Jira to us.
It seems quite impossible to get this done and it's very underwhelming for me at least.
Im not looking for external addons to do this as i have no control over what our company offers, i cant decide this on my own.
Im looking for an integrated way in the Jira i have. And right now it seems i have to do all these things by hand every month.
My desire:
The option (button) to auto create an EPIC and several STORIES attached.
And not a button that i can only activate via an already existing story/epic.
According to several support items ive found, i should be able to activate the rule from the main screen (KANBAN)
The idea behind it:
I have a monthly task to do. This task involves several security checks that need to be done by several people.
My goal was to create an EPIC for this. The EPIC should have a name like "Monthly check month X, year X."
After i create the EPIC i will edit the month and year accordingly by hand.
And then have a seperate story for each check attached to this EPIC.
When all the stories (checks) are finished, i will close the EPIC.
Next month i will do the same thing. Create a new EPIC with those same checks as stories.
Status:
I have tried a lot of things and i can get some things working, but i can either only create a story or an epic.
The automation is not very intuitive in my view. And why cant i create some sort of button with this.
So far i can only activate my automation rule when im inside a story/epic.
And this is also one of the things that just feels weird, because they seem to link to this story/epic while im really trying to create a new one.
