Mass issue creation

Question

If I make an issue is there a way to simply automatically duplicate it. We are trying to use jira to manage our shipments and when we make a contract from a supplier it is usually for 50 shipments, all sharing a lot of the same data.

Would using sub tasks work more effectively?

Hello Jon,

Unfortunately, I think it's not possible to create multiple sub-tasks based on a Custom field number using Automation for JIRA.

I think the only possible way to do it using Automation for JIRA is by configuring a single action for each sub-task created.

Also, if you are familiar to Groovy Script, you can use the Add-on Scriptrunner and follow the instructions on the question below to configure your script:

hi petterson,

just wanted to check if this idea that you gave can incorporate a function on how many sub tasks to create based on a field in the parent issue " Number of Loads" which can be anywhere from 1-100?

thanks for this idea. is there a way to automate the number of sub tasks it makes? and have the number of sub tasks created contingent on a custom field in the issue (i.e. "Number of loads")?
