Automation making subtasks

Question

Hi,

I was wondering if the automation feature can make subtasks when an issue is created? background about how we use it, the issue is the contract, and each contract is for XX no of loads (usually 40-60). when we make the contract we want to automate the creating of the sub tasks depending on how many loads it is for. The number of loads it is for is a custom field in our contract. after the subtasks are made we would come in and fill in custom fields that are for the loads (i.e. trucker, freight rate per load, delivery destination, date of pick up).

Thanks,

Hi John,

I will add this one to Agelica's list:

Automatic Subtasks Professional

It's the advanced version of automatic Subtasks Add-on but much more advanced and very useful

Hi Jon,

I've tested here and the automation won't create 40 sub-tasks.
The best option, in this case, is to use another add-on to create sub-tasks.
Here are some add-ons that may help you:

- ScriptRunner for Jira
- Sub Task Manager for Jira Cloud
- Automatic Subtasks Add-on

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Angélica

Hi Angelica,

but how would I do it if I want it to make the subtasks equal to the number in this field. For example if I have 40 in that field i want 40 sub tasks.
