Can JIRA be set up to create issues automatically on a scheduled basis?

[TheMoody]

We have a requirement to automatically create a number of issues weekly and have them assigned to certain departments. Is there a way to schedule the creating of issues in JIRA to run at a scheduled interval?

[Ken Wood · Accepted solution]

Use the Jira Command Line Interface in a script run on a scheduled basis.

With the CLI you can do something like this example from it's docs:

jira --action createIssue --project "zjiraclicustom" --type "bug" --summary "mutli issue" --field "custom-multi-select" --values "s1,s2,s3"

Or use the Scheduler plugin https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/pl.com.tt.jira.plugin.theschedulerpro

For automatic creattion repeating issues you can use Repeating Issues for JIRA https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.codedoers.jira.repeating-issues

This add-on can execute different actions repeatedly for given issue e.g. clone issue, create sub-task in issue, traverse isssue workflows - set once and forget!

Let's try.

Take a look at jelly scripting (note the warning in the document though): https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Jelly+Tags
