I have a team that has a recurring set of work to do every month. That work is set up as an Epic, with a bunch of tasks and subtasks. More than 200 issues in all. I have other, similarly set up rules that create 10-15 issues.
Since there's a limit on the number of components allowed in a single rule, I have broken this up into several rules. These rules are all currently triggered by the creation of the epic.
The epic is created on a schedule, so these rules need to have the box checked to allow other rules to trigger them. I end up seeing the warning about the concern around an endless loop in the rules (though it's not an endless loop... just a lot of issues!)
I'm wondering how to fix this. If I can't have one rule that creates all of the issues, the next best thing would be if I could end each of the rules with an action that says "start this next rule with the same issue (the epic) as its trigger issue".
Is there some other way to do this?
Thanks! Automation for Jira has been incredible to use. (This reminds me to go leave a review!)
p.s. Clicking my way through creating 200+ issues was maddening... I ended up exporting the rules in JSON and then writing a script to generate the JSON to import the rules I needed. Worked great! I realize this is unsupported and likely to change between versions, but I can't imagine doing this any other way.
