How to create multilpe subtasks when creating a task based on the filled custom fields?

Question

What I would like to accomplish is that I would like to create a task, where I would like to enter multiple serial numbers (probably with labels), and create multiple subtasks for each of them. I would also like to select device types for each serial number (e.g. SN: 18061234 Device type: V5). The summary of these subtask would be the copy of the parent summary then: " - " The purpose of this solution would be that I would like to make statistics out of these tasks at each quarter of the year, like: How much device was registered for each device type (and their sum) and which serial numbers occured more than once in the current quarter of the year. Could someone help me in figuring this out? Thank you in advance! BR, Dénes

Thank you for your your comment and sorry for the late reply!

I could manage to dinamically create multiple sub-tasks with a scripted post-function (Scriptrunner) when creating an issue, based on the filled custom fields.

It needs some improvement yet, but it will definitely work out!

Hello @labtech

There is no outofthebox functionality for that.

But you can achive your goal with plugins like Scriptrunner for JIRA.

You can put any logic of creating subtask with groovy.
