Count the number of subtasks on an issue

JT4

We have a project that needs to track the number of subtasks on an issue by subtask type. They would like to see 'counter' fields on the issues that increase everytime a new subtask is added to the issue.

Issue A

Subtask B Counter Subtask C Counter

Subtask type B is added to Issue A - Subtask B Counter increases to 1

Subtask type C is added to Issue A - Subtask C Counter increases to 1

Subtask type A is added to Issue A - Subtask B Counter increases to 2

Any idea on how to get these counters

1 - on create

2 - by subtask type

We are JIRA v6.0.2

Hi Jeanne,

You can achieve this by using the great Script Runner plugin by Jamie Echlin (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner).

This plugin comes with the concept of scripted fields - fields that will dynamically get a value based on the scripting code you provide - more information can be found over here: https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Scripted+Fields

Kind regards,

Tom
