Hi all,
I am searching for a solution to automate the following:
I have a Task, let´s name it X. When I click on the automated button, JIRA creates a predefined list of Sub-tasks for X and creates as well a predefined list of (non-ASAP) outgoing and incoming dependencies between them.
Is that doable?
Hello
as well a predefined list of (non-ASAP) outgoing and incoming dependencies between them.
What exactly do You mean by that?
1. What the dependencied are exactly in terms of jira objects?
2. What are Incoming and outgoing ones? (linked issues with specific relations?)
Hi Arkadiuz,
Thanks for reaching out.
The dependencies must be issue links from type: "has to be done before".
This means: For parent task X, let´s say I create 3 Sub-tasks A, B and C. I want the automation to create as well links between A, B and C as follows:
Please let me know whether this is still unclear.

Hello
It can be quite complicated, but I have no other solution for that. This may not be a optimal way.
Assumptions:
Possible solution:
Explanation:
You set value for each task according to your hierarchy and dependency.
In this case:
C can be started after B is done
B can be started after A is done.
So: A -> B -> C
You can change status only if condition is set, it means whenever your startIndex is 1 in this subtask.
After you finish your first subtask, yuo lower each index by 1, so:
1 becomes 0 (0 does nothing)
2 becomes 1 (it will be the task you have to start now)
3 becomes 2 (2 needs to be lowered to 1 in order to start this task).
tricky part here is triggering the rule from sub-task, pointing back to parent and editing subtask again. It can be done via another automation or by some advanced branching.
This is written in some kind of pseudocode, I dont have a time for setting proper automation rule and provide you a screen, however this may be helpful a bit.

Hi Arkadiuz,
Thanks a lot for the effort you put in that answer.
I will have a look at it and come back to you if there are unclarities, if that´s okay for you.
Regards
