Automation - Automatic task creation

[prasanna Subramaniam]

Dear community support ,

Could you please help me out to achieve this scenario?

Scenario details:

I have a feature "A" with two tasks, "AA" and "AB." Once both tasks are moved to "Done," I need to automatically create a new task, "AC," and assign both the feature and the new task to a different person.

Is this possible?

Thank you!

Hi @prasanna Subramaniam -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, that sounds possible, and you will need to consider your scenario details to make this work...

• You note tasks "AA", "AB", and "AC".  How do you identify those tasks?  That will be needed to find them.
• You note wanting to assign both the parent feature "A" and the new task "AC" to a different person.  What does that mean; how is this difference determined?

Once you have clarified those, and other questions, your rule could likely use conditions to check the issues and actions to make the assignments.

I recommend trying to create the rule.  That will help you learn about rule writing and to clarify what is needed.  To get you started on creating your rule, please refer to these documentation and example sources:
