Automation - IF Subtask includes specific characters

[Victor]

I would like to create an automation that creates a QA subtask in an issue, but only:

• IF there is not already subtask in the issue with a summary starting with "QA Task - "

I already built the subtask creation piece but need help with this specific piece. Any thoughts?

Hi @Victor ,

You can use a 'Related issue Condition'. Refer the attachment

Hi @Victor -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Without seeing your entire rule...

Perhaps try using the related issues condition with JQL, checking for no issues matching, and use the exact-phrase syntax for the CONTAINS operator to escape the quotation marks:

For example:

project = yourProjectName
 AND summary ~ "\"QA Task - \""
 AND issuetype = Subtask

Kind regards,
