Auto-create subtasks when status transition is automated

[Leanne Przybylowski]

Hi all,

I want to automate the following:

• Subtasks for each status
• When all subtasks are done in their respective status, I want the task to move to the next status -- where it will subsequently be auto-populated with more subtasks

Building subtasks per status is easy enough, as well as subtasks done --> parent task transition. But when I automate the subtasks = done --> change parent task, the subtasks for the new status don't auto-populate... only when I manually transition the status.

Attempt 1:

• When --> transition --> to [particular status]
• Then --> create subtasks

Attempt 2:

• When --> value change in status
• If status equals [particular status]
• Then --> create subtasks

Obviously I'm thinking too simply, but I'm newer to Jira (a Notion gal at heart). Please help!

Original estimate will give you the estimate for the issue on that line.  Ths sum will give you the same field, but for the issue and all its sub-tasks.
