How to set a security level on sub-tasks?

[Yousif Al Rawahi]

When the main issue is created, 6 sub-tasks will be created automatically by automation. I want to set security level of each sub-task, how to set a security level of each sub-tasks by automation?

Hi Yousif,

Go to Rule details.

Under "Rule Details," try checking the checkbox and then try again.

Please check the checkbox as shown in the screenshot below.

Thanks,

I have checked the box and it still the same thing. I guess the security level won't apply for sub-tasks only without the parent issue right?

[Armitha Reddy Toorpu Ceema]

Yes, security level won't apply for sub-tasks only.

Hi @Yousif Al Rawahi ,

As per my knowledge, Subtasks inherit the security level of their parent issue. We can't have two different securities. 

There is an open suggestion with Atlassian for the same.

Is there a way to apply a security on sub-tasks other than security level, for example scriptrunner?

Hi Yousif,

Below is the automation for to set Issue security level for sub-tasks.

First you want to create Issue security scheme and create security levels under that scheme.

Please do adjust the trigger and condition based upon your requirement.

Please accept the answer if this helpful for you.

NOTE:- This suggested answer will work for Jira cloud. 

Thanks,

Armitha.

When I used issue created trigger, it says 'no actions performed', and the reason is that 'The following issues did not match the condition', but when I use 'issue transitioned', it works. But I want the trigger as 'issue created'. What could be the problem?

Btw, when I used 'issue transitioned' trigger', it automation worked successfully but nothing happened when I checked the sub-task.
