Create an issue in an other project during a transition or with button

Question

I have seen several discussions on similar topics but none with a solution i can use in Jira Cloud.

What i need is a way to create an issue in project B while i'm "on" an issue in project A. either with a button or with a transition function.

is there a solution?

background info:

i have Project AA, and in it there are Bugs. some of them we would like to add to specific documents. Documents and requests are managed in Project BB .  So imaging someone is working on bug AA-01 and he decides this merits a document, then ideally he would click something in the AA-01 screen and a new Task would be created in Project BB (lets say BB-01) with relevant information and link.

thanks, so i'll need to do it per each state.

is there a solution not dependent on transitions?

Hi @[deleted],

Yes, you will be able to add this function at each transition. Post functions are available for any transition/state of the workflow.

Also, you may want to follow this article and see how to place the post functions (order)

it seems like a good option. But i'll try to challenge you even further:

what if i want to be able to create the new issue from any possible status in the current issue?

meaning i want to create a new issue when AA-01 is in "open" and also when it is "in-progress" and also if it is in "resolved" etc.

i know i could create many transitions from each status to itself and use your plugin. but is there a better way?
