Is it possible to set up stories so that as soon as the story is created, it has 3 tasks associated with it?

Is it possible to set up stories so that as soon as the story is created, it has 3 tasks associated with it? We have the same three tasks for every story and I don't want to create those tasks every time I create a story. Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi Audry,

Currently there is no way to to create the story with the subtasks automatically. What I can recommend to remedy this would be to create a python script with your thrww subtasks defined that call to JIRA's REST API to create the tasks. Another option would be to create a GreaseMonkey extension in JAVA that would do the same thing.

Here are a couple of documents on JIRA's REST API for your reference:

You have two choices.

Or

create your own plugin that creates these multiple tasks during the create issue event or any transition event of your workflow.
