create mulitple subtasks from multiselect checkbox field

Kieran_Donnelly

My issue create screen has a multi-select checkbox custom field. I would like a scriptrunner post-function that will:

a) create a sub-task for each option selected

b) use the name of the selected checkbox in the sub-task summary

 

Example:

My custom field is called: "colors"

The following options exist:

• "blue"
• "green" -> checked
• "red" -> checked

 

Desired outcome from post-function: Create two sub-tasks with summary as follows:

1) "Subtask - green"

2) "Subtask - red"

I am using jira server 7.x and latest scriptrunner plugin.

I think you should try to write a script yourself first. You can find info on how to create subtasks using scriptrunner here:
