We have an automation where all newly stories created stories will by default have a sub-task which acts as a checklist. But often users clone old stories which do not have the sub task. I want solution to prevent cloning of stories that do not have sub tasks and also when they clone new stories, they should not omit the sub-task. Please help. Thank you
Hi @Jeyakumar S
Welcome to the Community!
If you're using subtasks as checklists, I recommend using a checklist app instead.
There are some free options in the Marketplace, including our Issue Checklist Free , which supports cloning out of the box - every issue with a checklist that gets cloned manually will have the same checklist as the original with all the checklist items unchecked.
Why don't you give it a try? I think it's beats punishing your users for not doing manually what can be automated ;)
Cheers,

Automation can be used to detect whether an item is cloned if you have an issue link "clones."
So you could automatically create the sub-task, or use it to delete clones without sub-tasks:
WHEN Issue created
IF: Linked issues present Types: clones
AND: Sub-tasks not present
THEN: Permanently remove this issue
