How can I let JIRA automatically create predefined sub-tasks after some end user raise a ticket in specific issue type and/or a component?

If it couldn't work in JIRA OnDemand, does it work in JIRA Enterprise and how?

Thanks.

Hi Bob,

I failed to find step 5 Add Create sub-task on transition post function
in JIRA On-Premise 5.2.8 as the URL. Any ideas?

[Bob Swift OSS (Bob Swift Atlassian Apps)]

It is a post function that ships with Create on Transition Plugin for JIRA and that is why it can only be installed with download version.

Thank you Bob. Will give it a try once available.

[Arnold Chang]

Thanks again. It helps.

Thanks Jamie. Will try it soon.

Jamie,

Thanks again. It works well.

hi Jamie, 

I was trying to automatically create subtasks based on the field in the parent issue "Number of Loads" which is random number usually from 1-100. I added the script runner post function but shouldn't there be a way to instruct that the number of sub tasks added is dependent on the field in the parent issue?

Was this ever solved?

You can achieve this with the Jira automation suite

Here is a step-by-step visual guide on how to configure a Jira Workflow to create an issue with several sub-tasks automatically - http://isolasoftware.it/2014/01/08/create-an-issue-in-jira-with-predefined-sub-tasks/

This is done without buying add-ons.

Giuliio. A bit stumped by your comment "this is done without buying add-ons." when one of the steps is to install Script Runner.

[ANN LEE]

By following the step, sub-tasks will created automatically. However, all these sub-tasks are in Unassigned state. How to pre-assign the sub-task?

[Bill Tanner]

Thanks Giulio, we already use Script Runner so your page was very useful.

This only works for the server version, not on cloud. Any way to do this in the hosted version?
