Features used to implement the example

• Create issues and sub-tasks

Example: Create subtasks based on optoins checked in a checkbox

This is an example for creating multiple subtasks based on the selection in a checkbox when creating an issue.

We want to automatically created these subtasks. In this case we want to create subtasks for a new Software Release.

For this there is a custom field checkbox "Addtitional issues" with options [Newsletter, Release Notes, Documentation]. When selecting one of these, a specific subtask will be created with the Fixed Version in summary.

Text to be parsed is:

toStringList(%{10200})

getMatchingValue(^%,["Newsletter","Release Notes","Documentation"], ["Newsletter for Version " + %{00074}, "Release Notes for Version " + %{00074}, "Documentation for Version " + %{00074}])

%{00014} = "Release"

Note that

• %{10200} is field code for a custom field called "Additional issues"
• %{00014} is field code for field "issue type"
• %{00074} is field code for field "Fixed Version/s"
• The summary contains additionally the Fixed Version

Once configured the transition will look like this: 

The workflow is shared between the parent issue and the subtasks, thus we are using a Conditional execution with boolean expression %{00014} = "Release" to avoid the post function to be executed by the subtasks.
