Blocking of Auto sub-task creation if subtask in parent with same summary already exists?

Tracey Ryan

I have set up auto-sub task creation using post functions on a couple of transitions in our workflow. However, I our workflow can go back and forth between stages, and therefore i only want the sub-tasks to create the first time it gets transitioned.

Is there a script that i can use in the condition section of the post-script auto-sub task function that will only create the sub-task if a sub-task with the same summary doesn’t already exist on the Parent?  If it does exist, then the sub task wont’ create, but if sub-task doesn’t already exist, then it will create.

 thanks

You will need to add a condition on your subtask creation workflow postfunction.

The condition may look like below

(PLEASE NOTE : THIS IS NOT  A WORKING SCRIPT JUST FOR YOUR REFERENCE , I have not tested this , it may or may not work . Please try on your test instance)

for( def subtask in issue.subTaskObjects){
if(subtask.summary == "your summary")
return false
}
