The Create issue post function automatically creates a single standard issue or sub-task in any given project. The issue type can be selected from all available issue types and sub-task issue types in the system (excluding next-gen projects).

Additional field values can be inherited or manually set using parser expressions.

The mode parameter defines how many issues you want to create. You can either choose to create just one single issue or multiple ones.

The following modes are available:
