create predefined jira issues sequence

[Vladimir Kravtsov]

Hi. I want to find a best way to create a series of issues from some template and assign them to particular users automatically. Example: when launching product we have the same issues all the time (create product description, prepeare video and icons, publish the product at Android Market). And there is about 30-40 such tasks. I would like not to create all this issues for every product, but to create some kind of template and create the tasks from it. Can you suggest some 'best practice' for this problem ?

Have a look at JIRA CLI and the cloneProject subcommand.

Specifically, you can use the run action to run a file of createIssue actions with some substitution variables if you need. https://bitbucket.org/bob_swift/jira-cli/src/2ca67abebdb4/src/main/resources/examples/runExample.txt is an example. In your case it would be easier because you just need to create issues.
