How can I automate the creation of Tasks under Epics so they are nested?

[Kathryn Minczuk]

I can manually add tasks under epics and they display in the nested format, but when I automate the creation of tasks when an epic is created (as a parent of the tasks), they are not nested!

This is super frustrating, is making my projects very disorganized, and creating extra work. Please help.

Hi @Kathryn Minczuk 

You can set 'Epic Link' in your automation like this:

I think this is what you mean - let me know, hopefully it helps.

Hi @Stuart Capel - London

Thank you for trying. This is what I'm trying to accomplish, but when I run this rule, the tasks are not nested beneath the parent Epic. However, if I manually add a task beneath the epic in the list view, it is nested.

Best,
