Can i bulk create (CSV) recurring sub-tasks into a parent by adding multiple parent ids in a col?

james.monro August 5, 2020

I want to recreate a series of sub-tasks. e.g for each month, 5 countries need to do the same activity. 
I have create the months as epics, the counties as tasks within the epic, and now i wan to bulk create the activities in each task. Can i do this by adding multiple parent ids (i.e. the jira for each country each month) into a single column on the CSV, separated by a comma?

Hi James,

I would use some type of Automation to create the tasks. The Automation For Jira add-on can do that with the Scheduled trigger or you could base it on each task as it gets closed creating a new one for the next month.

Can you share why the automation didn't quite work? Maybe we can work something out that would help with something similar in the future.  :-)
