Hi Santosh,

you should have a look around for the available workflow apps on the marketplace that'll help you to automate this task. Each one should enable you to use a post function to create new tasks in the create transition of your epic in your project. Just to mention a few:

• Jira Workflow Toolbox (this one is developed by our team, just so you know)
• Create on transition
• ScriptRunner for Jira
• Jira Misc Workflow Extensions
• Suite Utilities for Jira

most of them offer plenty of more possibilities to enhance your Jira workflows than just by creating a few sub-tasks :) 

Best, Max

Hello,

You could also use the Power Scripts add-on:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/43318/power-scripts-jira-script-automation?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

You could create a listener for the Issue Created event with a code like this:

string issue_priority;
string issue_description;
string[] issue_components;string issue_security_level;
string[] custom_fields_mapping;
if (issueType == "Epic") {
issue_priority = "Critical";
issue_description = "Description of the issue";
issue_components = components;
issue_security_level = "Administrator";
custom_fields_mapping = "STDUP|fmanaila|STDGP|jira-users";
string k = createIssue(
            "PROJECT",
            "PRJ-300",
            "Sub-task",
            "Summary of the sub task" ,
            issue_priority,
            issue_description,
            issue_components, 
            currentDate() + "30d",
           "1h 30m",
            issue_security_level,
            custom_fields_mapping           );
}

This listener would create an issue, if an epic was created.
