Assign parent field values to the subtask creation page

[lei_zou]

1. I want to set value in open create Sutask page for field. and the value from parent page.

2. when open create sutask page from 'http://localhost:2990/jira/secure/QuickCreateIssue!default.jspa?decorator=none&parentIssueId=10505&a=xxx' set field 'a' value is 'xxx'.

  Is there a way to do this???

Hi @lei_zou 

you could populate the field with an Automation rule on/after creation. If the user put a value in, that would overwrite it. You could also hide it on the Sub-Task Create Screen.

There is no way to pre-populate the field based on Parent value in vanilla Jira. There are some Marketplace Apps though that might be able to do so - however, the connection between Parent and Sub-task don't exist at that point so there isn't really a way to get values from the (soon to be) parent at that point.

I would say Automation is the easiest way without 3rd Party tools.

 parentIssueId to subtask？ Don't support more?

Or is there a convenient way to intercept dialog boxes and rewrite them

Oh right - still would need Marketplace Apps for it. Scriptrunner is one option like you mentioned below.

use

<action name="com.rednuo.pmap.jira.webwork.ExCreateSubTaskIssue" alias="CreateSubTaskIssue">

Implemented filling in subtasks

but
