Jira Automation for Subtasks with the same name

[Interne IT]

Hello everybody,

I would like to create an automation and need some help.

I create a new Issue as issuetype Epic, now the rule applies:

1. When Epic is created, create issues in Epic

That works so far. The next step is now:

1. create to issues in Epic -> certain subtasks

Now I have the problem that creates subtasks to all epics in the project and not just to the particular one.

Picture for better understanding:

My solution:

If new Issue Created and issuetype = Epic

    Then create new Issue in Epic  named (1,2,3,...)

Then branching for last created Issue


          - Check if issuetype = like (1,2,3...) AND created >=-5m
          - Then create new Subtasks (Sub1,Sub2,Sub3...)

And that's what I'm doing now for the various issues in Epic.

Thanks for help!

Hi there,

I'm not 100% sure I understand your use-case fully, but I think in your second rule "create to issues in Epic -> certain subtasks" you could just add a condition so that it only matches and executes the rule for certain types of epics:
