Create script with Jelly for recurring issue

Question

Hello all,

I need some help trying to create this automated process in which an issue is created automatically once a month. I've already tried the plugin The Scheduler, which didn't work because of some error message I've always received after creating the original issue.

Now I've contacted the Atlassian Support who told me that it is possible to create something like this using Jelly.

I need to have this checklist created once a month and it needs to be assigned to a group of users.

Any help on how to accomplish this would be very much appreciated.

With regards,

Sebastian

For automatic repeating issues you can use Repeating Issues for JIRA https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.codedoers.jira.repeating-issues

This add-on can execute different actions repeatedly for given issue e.g. clone issue, create sub-task in issue, traverse isssue workflows - set once and forget!

Hi, but if I'd use attachements there would always have to be a issue key which I would not know because the issue is not yet created. Here's the code I'm currently using: The only thing I have at that moment is a project key. As an alternative I could maybe use an URL to a file, that could be downloaded. Thanks so far. If you have any other ideas please let me know. With regards, Sebastian

Not really.  I think you can do attachments in Jelly, so you could create a simple template spreadsheet and upload a copy of that every time as part of the script.  But it's an attachment, not a checklist

The other option that springs to mind is to ensure the Description field uses the wiki-markup renderer and then put a table or bullet point list in the description as it creates the issue.
