Default a required field on a subtask from a Parent upon creating the subtask

Chris Dail May 3, 2024

Has anyone found a way to populate required fields from a parent when a subtask is being created (before hitting save).  I have attempted this. but can only get the automation to work after the save button is pressed, which does not work for required fields.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Correct, there is no way to populate the fields from the parent until you have created the Sub-task.

@John Funk  It is very time wasting if we have 3+ required fields that in every subtask we need manual to full fill. Bad UX. Do you have in plan to enable this option in future updates? Is there any way to make creation of subtask faster and easier, for example to disable required fields?

Hi @Ognjen Odobašić  - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I do not work for Atlassian or control the product. I am an end user like you.  :-)

You can use automation to create multiple issues in Jira as a way to speed the process, or don't have so many required fields as you mention. That's up to you.

I understand. Thank you for answer. 

We need flexibility with JIRA to cover as much as possible scenarios in daily routine, required fields are having reasons why they are required, but that subtask cant have parent task preselected values or disabled required fields (they are already subtask) is missing simply feature.

I will apply to suggestions, maybe they will see it like nice-to-heave ;)
