Solution
Note
You must be a project admin or a Jira admin in order make these automation configuration changes.
Below is the automation rule to get the requirement fulfilled:
When: Scheduled
Then: Create a new (Issue)
And: Create variable Create smart value variable (
{{RecentStoryCreated}})And: Create a new Sub-task
And: Create a new Sub-task
The schedule is quite simple depending on the requirement. After which we will be creating a Task/Story. The next step is to have a variable created to store the Story/Tasks issues key which will be used later on.
The variable will be storing the value using the smart value "createdIssue.key" , which will refer to the Story/Task created earlier in the automation.
The next step is to create multiple Sub-Tasks and use the variable in the Parent Issue field so that the created Sub-Tasks will be mapped under the created Story/Tasks (smart value {{RecentStoryCreated}}.
