Hi @keren melinda 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Your question was tagged as cloud but as far as I know, this is Jira DC you're asking for.

You can add a workflow post function (using one of the workflow addons) and update the custom fields accordingly. However, the problem is whenever those fields are updated in the parent issue, it needs to be updated in the subtasks as well. So it is best to implement a listener which will listen to issue events and update those fields within the listener code. So, what I would say is it is not a very straightforward process.

Hi @Tuncay Senturk ,

Thankyou for the response. Is there there any listener script available.

I am getting error while trying the below code

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;

IssueManager im = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
MutableIssue issue = im.getIssueObject("ANDROID-38");

def output = ""
for (e in issue.getSubTaskObjects()) {

output = output + e.getSummary() +"," + e.issueType.name + "<br/>"

}

return output

I'm afraid, I don't have any listener script available but bear in mind that the code you shared is inclined to update subtasks when the parent is updated.

However, there may be other scenarios, assume this code ran and updated every subtask. Then another subtask was created.
