Use case

Sometimes it might be helpful to have customized test issues at hand for several scenarios; testing new feature implementations, new project setups or simply new JWT automation rules.

The following rule will take care of Creating customized issues for testing anything that needs to be tested.

 Manual trigger

Create a new rule and name it appropriately.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.

Add a Trigger → Manual

No further configuration needed. The rule will only be executed if a user hits the Execute button .

 JQL Selector

Add Selector → JQL Selector

JQL Query

Use the following Expression:

key = nnnnn

nnnnn has to be an issue key. In this case we are going to create test issues as sub-tasks under a predefined issue.

But you can also adapt the configuration to create tasks in a specific project/ under an epic/ etc.

 Create issue action

Next to the JQL Selector click on Add → Action → Create issue

Issues to be created

Choose Multiple issues

Parser Expression

Enter the following expression with mode set to date/ mathematical:

3

Issue type

Choose one of the available sub-task issue types

Issue type

Choose Selected issue

Summary

Enter the following Expression with mode set to Advanced text:

"+++TESTING+++ Sub-task " + ^

Description

Enter the following Expression with mode set to Basic text:

Sub-task for testing purposes

Fields

Set the fields according to your needs.

Screencast

This is how the configuration above should look on your screen
