Please look into it . Help me to change this according to how we can create subtask while creating task

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

In a lot of cases, this won't work. The issue isn't physically created until the end of the create process, and sub-tasks can only be created on issues that exisit. A lot of create-subtask post-functions will fail because of this.

Which post-function are you using? (I.e. which plugin?) And where exactly have you used the post-fcuntion on the list of post-functions on the transition?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, that's probably going to give you some useful information in the log when you attempt it (something like "parent doesn't exist"). Could you have a look in the log? And tell us where exactly the post-function is used? (Also, confirm that "Testing" is definitely a sub-task type?)

[rajesh174u]

Script workflow function : Create a sub-task.
Subtask will be created with issue type: Testing

[rajesh174u]

yes testing is a aub-task type.

the postfunnction defined on create issue--> open transition

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, good, because it will fail if it's the wrong type of task.

Again, as I asked before, could you tell us where you have added the post-function is on the list of post-functions on the transition?

Also, could you have a look at the log?

[rajesh174u]

could you suggest how and where i need to check the log.
