When an issue is created, 3 sub-tasks, Documentations, Marketplace and Newsletter are added to this issue.

Image RemovedConfiguration steps

Follow these steps to create the add sub-task rule.

Often creating repetitive issues is daily work, e.g. in a software development release process. It might be that for every new feature specific tasks have to be done in order to successfully release a new software version containing this feature, be it updating the product documentation, the marketplace presence or sending a newsletter to all customers.
To avoid creating these issues always manually, the following automation rule can easily manage this by creating the issues automatically.

UI Text Box

type	tip

When to use this automation rule and when to use a workflow post function?

This use case is very useful, if repetitive issues have to be created in several projects that have different workflows. Configuring just one automation rule might then be the easier way to go.

But if this scenario is only necessary for one project and workflow, the Create issue post function would make more sense. In this case you might want to check out our corresponding post function use case.
