Is there a way to create a sub-task when another one closes

Question

I'm working on a Video/photo editor Kanban board and I was wondering if I can change the workflow they currently have to help them.

Right now, each Stories CAN be divided into sub-tasks. but some are conditionnal to others.

Photo work needs to be completed but, only after the video is done.

so what I was thinking was something like, the person who closes the video sub-task can create a sub-task for video, or close the main story depending on the needs.

I'd prefer it to be automated, but I'm not sure this is achievable.

let me know what you guys think,

thanks,

I've managed to do a script that should work, but since I want it to be done based on a sub-task, It shows an error saying that since its a sub-task, it can't create another one.

is there a way I can make it so it creates the sub-task based on the parent task?

thanks,

Yannick

Thank you,

I've installed ScriptRunner, and I'll try to build a script that does that.

I'd use the ScriptRunner add-on to do it, as you can write whatever you need into post-functions.
