automatically create sub-tasks upon creation of a story

Mohajit Acharya November 14, 2019

How do I automatically create set of predefined sub tasks upon creation of a story in Jira. Is it using create post function? Appreciate help urgently. 

I am using Jira cloud instance.

Is there a non add-on or non plug-in based solution available?

Thanks Syzmon. The pages in the links for the non plugin based solutions don't exist anymore.

without using plugin it will be hard.

The only options I see is using post function as you've already mentioned or

but this is very tricky and I don't know if it would meet your expectations.

Hi there, 

I think the best option is to create a post funtion, like you said. 

If you don't want to code it your best option is to use a plugin like https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/697735/create-on-transition-for-jira

 or this if you are in cloud https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218165/add-issue-on-transition-for-jira-cloud
