Create sub tasks automatically when a EPIC -- Story/Task are created

Question

Hi community, I would be verry happy if someone could help me with this puzzle. :-)

I created the automation where Stories / Tasks are automatically created once the epic transitions to a determined status.

Now I need to create SUBTASKs once these Stories / Task are automatically created.

The idea is to have a cascade of issues being create triggered by the EPIC transition.

1 --> EPIC transition to IN PROGRESS

2 --> A set of STORY/TASK are then created

3 --> SUB-TASK are created under these STORIES/TASKS

I have created this automation; (which only works when I create the story manually)

Hi @Paulo_Cerqueira , thanks for your post.

I got a similar rule to work this way. I think what you are missing is this last checkbox on the Rule details page to allow for this rule to be triggered by another automation.

So, I created another Automation where, when I create an Epic, to create two Stories. When I created an Epic, the two Stories were created and then their creation called this rule which created two Sub-tasks in each one.

Is that what you wanted?

I created a short Loom as well to show you exactly what I did and how it works - https://www.loom.com/share/de2132be7f9e4f5d87e52b4951768335?sid=1ccf4791-68b5-4eb5-a899-6697a5b6d282

Have a look and let me know what you think or if you need more help.

Cheers
