Sub-task summary copied from Parent (Manual creation of sub-task)

Question

Hi,

I am working on requirement where we will create a sub-task manually at any status in the workflow. While doing so, I need sub-task summary to be auto-populated with the default summary from parent appended with some field in the parent. I don't want to write automation script for automatic sub-task creation, as not all issues need sub-task.

Please provide your inputs/suggestions.

Hi Pawan,

Those are all good addons, but difficult to maintain for this use case. I recommend this one:

Automatic Subtasks Professional

Hi @Alexey Matveev,

Thanks for your response, I think your idea will work for me, I will try and will let you know after I implement. I already have scriptrunner and JSU, probably those will work for my requirement

Cheers :)

Thank you

Hello,

I think you would need an add-on for it.

You could write a post function for the sub-task workflow, which would copy the summary of the parent issues.

For example, you could do it with the Power Scripts add-on:

The script would look like this:

summary = parent.summary;
