How can I create a sub-task Template for JIRA Cloud?

[JD Lobue]

Upon creation of a certain user type, I'd like to have common sub-tasks automatically available and linked to the created issue. We are using Jira Cloud. If someone has done this can you assist? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I can even recommend Easy Issue & Subtask Templates. You can create subtasks-only templates and also templates for complete issue hierarchies. It's easy to use, since you don't need any syntax and users can create templates without the need of being an administrator.

Hi JD,

I can recommend two good ones. One is for simple use cases, the other one for more advanced cases. They are great:

Automatic Subtasks Add-on
Automatic Subtasks Professional

Please tell me how it goes

Hi @JD Lobue ,

You may also benefit from Easy Templates for Jira  addon that will let you create templates with subtasks per issues type.

While new issue creation - subtasks will be automatically populated.

Hello,

You would need a plugin for it. There are multiple plugins in the marketplace: Power Scripts, ScriptRunner, Automation for Jira.

If you want to use the Power Scripts plugin, then you could create a post function with a code like this:

string issue_priority;

//Possible values: "Major", "Critical" etc.

string issue_description;

string[] issue_components;string issue_security_level;

string[] custom_fields_mapping; 

issue_priority = "Critical";

issue_description = "Description of the issue";

issue_components = components; //an array containing all the components of the current project

issue_security_level = "Administrator";

custom_fields_mapping = "customfield_12345|fmanaila|customfield_12346|jira-users";

string k = createIssue(

            "PROJECT",

            key,

            "Sub-task",

            "Summary of the sub task" ,

            issue_priority,

            issue_description,

            issue_components,

            currentDate() + "30d",

            issue_security_level,

            custom_fields_mapping           );

This post function would create a subtask for the current issue.
