How to automize to have several grandchild ticket ?

[Pauline LE RAY]

Hi ! 

I would like to automate the creation of several stories that also have children tasks, for exemple, when I trigger an Epic, I want it to create one  children that would be a story, and this story should create two tasks: 

• Epic
  • Story
    • Task 1
    • Task 2 

I hope this is clear :/ 

Thank you for your help !

Hi Pauline - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You cannot create Tasks as children of Stories - they sit at the same level in Jira and under Agile principles. You can create Sub-tasks under Stories, though.

Hello @Pauline LE RAY 

I'm joining John's opinion: If you want to create a Task (level 0)  as a child of another Story (Level 0), it's not possible.

However, if for some how,  in your instance a Task is at Level -1, meaning it is considered a sub-task, then you can achieve this through automation.

You can do it with an automation rule like this:

1. Manually trigger the rule.
2. If issuetype = Epic, then create a Story with parent = {{trigger.issue}}.
3. Refresh the data.
4. Create a Task with parent = {{createdIssue}}.
