stop creating sub-task if sub-task is already created.

Jigar D Patel

Hello,

My end goal here is to stop generating sub-task, if sub-task is already created. 

This is how my work-flow is set up. 

Opening parent ticket creates 5 sub-task using post function. I separated 5 sub-task into separate issue-types, so they all have separate workflow. On one of the sub-task issuetype work-flow when sub-task is resolved, it will create 5 more sub-task. 

There are times user might re-open sub-task and resolving again will create 5 more sub-task, so I am trying to avoid creating sub-task, if it's already created. 

Can you please suggest any post-function, Condition or Trigger? 

As of now, I have below Add-ons installed:
Bob Swift Atlassian Add-ons - Create on Transition
JIRA Misc Workflow Extensions
Adaptavist ScriptRunner for JIRA
Automation Tools for JIRA LITE

I am very surprised by this requirement of yours "On one of the sub-task issuetype work-flow when sub-task is resolved, it will create 5 more sub-task. ". Why is resolving an sub-task creating more subtasks? What's the Business case behind it. Using plugins which you have mentioned you can achieve the original requirement but why built such an complex system which will become an maintenance nightmare.
