Blocking of Auto sub-task creation if subtask in parent with same summary already exists?

[Tracey Ryan]

I have set up auto-sub task creation using post functions on a couple of transitions in our workflow. However, I our workflow can go back and forth between stages, and therefore i only want the sub-tasks to create the first time it gets transitioned.

Is there a script that i can use in the condition section of the post-script auto-sub task function that will only create the sub-task if a sub-task with the same summary doesn’t already exist on the Parent?  If it does exist, then the sub task wont’ create, but if sub-task doesn’t already exist, then it will create.

 thanks

Yes, they're exports - once the process that creates them has completed, they are not used by the server again, and can be deleted.
