Sub-tasks - Copy fields content from parent to sub-task

[Anette Noll]

Hi all,

I'm stuck with the following problem.

Intention is to create sub-task

and copy certain fields content from parent task to sub-tasks.

As long as task as well as sub-task are in status in progress this works;
but not in status backlog.

I can create a sub-task when task is in backlog but field content will not be copied to sub-task, although both status have same conditions etc.

Condition and postfunction of transition 1 and 2 are:

I gave exactly the same condition and postfunction to backlog transitions (3). But it only works in the moment both (task and sub-task) are in status in progress.

What haven't I considered?

Allison, 

If you don't have a plugin, this is not possible.

I know of at least one plugin that can perform this. Scriptrunner has unctions that can query for "SubtasksOf" a given query. You could use that to search for "Subtasks of parents not containing test". 

There may be other plugins that can accomplish this (such as the "JQL Tricks") but I haven't tried that. I know scriptrunner can do it for sure.

Thanks Tarun and Kian.   I just wish Script Runner was Free.  (we're on tight budgets here). :)

Hello @Allison Vess

You can easily do this if you have Script Runner plugin installed on your machine.

"don't give me sub-tasks with status approved or rejected IF the parent summary contains the word test"

NOT (issueFunction in subtasksOf("summary ~'test'") and status in (approved,rejected))
