Create a sub-task in specific status

Dennis S_

Hi everybody,

 

we have a "normal" workflow and a sub-task-workflow. I would like to create a sub-task automatically when a specific transition in the parent issue is performed. I´ve realized that with a script runner workflow function "create a subtask". So far, so good. 

 

Now, I would like to set the automatically created sub-task in the second status (automatically, just in the moment when it is created). I´ve already tried several scripts to transition the sub-task and ordered it after the "create subtask" script in the transition, but it seems like the sub-task is not created before the transition is completed.

 

Any ideas, how to set the sub-task in the second status initially when it is created automatically.

 

Thank you in advance for your support.

 

Best regards

Dennis

Hi @Dennis S_,

Firstly, @Tom Lister is right. You can also follow some other ways to that. As far as I understand, when a specific transition performed you want to create subtask which will be created on the second status. If I get it correctly, you can ;

1. Place another script postfunction(custom) in the subtask's create transition. The script is going to change the status of created subtask issue. In my opinion, this is not a correct way to handle this problem because if you want to create a subtask manually, it will automatically move to second status.
2. Other way which I recommend is change your script post function. Write a custom script post function and create your subtask over there. After that get the created subtask in script and move its status to second status.

If you need help while coding script let me know. Hope this helps your problem. Good luck.
