Automation for jira - create based on issue type?

[Robert Anthony]

Hi Guys,

Somewhat simple quesation here but I can't find the answer. I just want to staory issue type create to kickoff an automated subtask. In an automation rule, whats the syntx for issuetype? Thank you!

Tap "Add component", then select  Issue fields condition and there you are able to select the issue type for the automation.

I do not see this option at all. Can you provide some more information? I have not found any way to select an issue type for an automation but it would make my life a lot easier if I could!

On the left, where you have the flow (When->Then), you have an option below to Add Component. Create a "If: New Condition" and move it up after the When item.

Use Issue Field Condition

Robert,

  I would use when an issue is created or issue is updated as your trigger.  Then for the condition use JQL to define the issue type.  The JQL would be issuetype = "Story" where Story is the issue type name.  Then you can add your action to create a subtask.
