How to Automate issue creation every time a new project is created with an specific category?

[Bruna Junckes Sant Anna]

How can i create an automation that every time a new project with category "X" is created, the automation run?

I have the same epics, tasks and subtasks in all my projects structure, and i want to every time i create a new project i dont need to create every issue..

As i see i cant duplicate a base project, i want to make an automation.

How can i do it?

Hi @Bruna Junckes Sant Anna 

I don't think you can do that with Automation. For this use case what I normally do is keep a csv file with its configurations (field mappings) and import it in new project to quickly populate the issues.

Hi @Bruna Junckes Sant Anna 

As @Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ noted, this isn't possible yet.  Here is the suggestion to add a trigger for Project Created to automation, which you may watch/vote for to see progress: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-177

Best regards,

A Project Created trigger was added in July 2021

Automations cannot trigger based on project creation, it can only be configured to trigger on issue events. You would have to create something using the REST API to do it, or using an existing app. I found this one in the Marketplace, Deep Clone for Jira, and it looks like it allows you to create a project template that you can clone.

thanks Marlene!

Wish Jira had something we do not need to pay for an extra license, but that good for now.
