Automated tasks creation with sub-tasks

Yahya Aliyev

Dear Community,

I came across a small issue. 

Basically, I need a rule to create two different issues with sub-tasks populated within each.

However, my rule duplicates subtasks in each created Story.

How to prevent this duplication, so the rule will create exact subtasks under the exact Story.

Here is the screen.

Dear Community,

 

Thank you for the prompt replies. I've found the solution to the issue. The problem with the "Most recently created work item" is that there are 2 Stories created at the same time, and this branch condition counts both of them, thus validating both for the subtask creation, which ends up with duplicates.

 

I came up with another solution, which is an additional IF condition.

During the creation of the Story, I populate the Description field with a unique value. Then I do the validation based on the content for this unique value.

This works best for this case.
