Hello,
I'm wondering if it's possible to automate a creation of task basing on another task.
Example:
Task #1 has been created:
Summary: Task #1
Description:
- jct - 123 - an issue description
- jct - 456 - an issue2 description
And I want to create a tasks basing on previous one:
Task #2
Summary: jct - 123
Description: an issue description
Task #3
Summary: jct - 456
Description: an issue2 description
Is this even possible somehow?
You can achieve that using Jira Automation. Here's an example for sub-tasks but same/ similar things are possible for regular tasks as well:
https://www.atlassian.com/agile/tutorials/how-to-auto-create-subtasks-with-jira-software-automation
In order to extract new tickets titles from the description you can use regular expressions in Smart Values as described here (using match() function):
https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-text-fields/
In the example provided the following regex should extract the ticket titles:
(jct - [0-9]{3})
And the one below to extract description (if it's single line):
jct - [0-9]{3} - (.*)
(Use https://regex101.com/ for testing)
Of course you would need to adjust those regex'es to your real life scenario but I included it just to give you an idea of what you can achieve.
Hope it helps!
Regards,
Daniel
