Hi,

Pls help out to me.

Jira has to create 10 sub tasks when story issuetype created.

We one workflow and 10 issutypes.

But I want to create 10 subtasks under story automatically.

Hi,

are you using Adaptivist ScriptRunner?

If yes, you can add a post function which automatically creates sub-tasks.

In order to do that, you have to be an admin. Go to Project Settings > Workflows > click on the workflow > Edit > choose the Create transition >  Post Functions > Add post functions > Script Post-Function [ScriptRunner] > Create a sub-task > you can add issue.issueType.name == 'Story' > and then add fill out the rest of the options you need.

If you need to create 10 sub-tasks at once, you can add 10 Post Functions like this.

I have 10 issuetypes out of this 4 issuetypes has to create 10 subtasks when user creates tickets by one of the 4 issuetypes.

Than I have to write 40 times its heavy load to workflow.

Instead of this if u share any script that will be easy and I can config to multiple projects.

I personally don't have a script for that.

Here is a topic with a similar script:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Using-scriptrunner-I-need-to-know-how-to-create-multiple/qaq-p/621773

This works if  you just need to create multiply sub-tasks with the same information, but if you have to create them with different information, you will have to customize them manually with the built-in feature.

If you have to do it manually as I described earlier, I'd recommend to do it once in the beginning, even if it takes long, then copy that workflow to different projects, and make small adjustments, if needed.
