Automation: Parent Issue need to be the same as trigger issue

[Ben Weisman]

Hello,

   I am trying to create a rule that when a sub-task is closed, a new sub-task is generated. I want the new sub-task to be housed in the same parent issue as the trigger sub-task.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

Hi @Ben Weisman 

first of all: I am not a experienced with service desk. Therefore I could just give input with my overall A4J knowledge.

Regarding your description I would suggest following rule:

There's no way to do this with Automation yet.

The "create subtask" only works with the current issue, and while the "create issue" function does allow for creating sub-task, there is no option to specify the parent beyond "current issue" and "trigger issue"

(If the create issue function supported it, I would use the smart value {{issue.parent}} as a feed for the "selected parent" option in there)

Both functions allow you to set most fields to whatever you want, but annoyingly, not the parent issue.
