Introduction

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 taken over or manually set using expression parser



Remark

In this documentation and the post function configuration you will notice the symbol ( * ) next to some parameters, it means that this field is mandatory and shall not be left empty. Fields without the symbol are optional.

Basic configuration*

Below you will find a detailed description of each parameter of the basic configuration of the function.


Target issue*

Select the issue to be transitioned, the following options are available:

  • Current issue
  • Parent issue
  • Sub-tasks
  • Sibling sub-tasks
  • Linked issues
  • Linked epic
  • Issues under epic
  • Sibling issues under epic
  • Set target issue manually (parser expression)

(info) the input has to be an issue key

Mode*

Select the transition to be executed or the status to be transitioned to. The following options are available:

  • Execute transition

Pick either a transition which is shown by name and ordered by workflows or a parser expression ((info) expects a transition ID)

  • Transition to status

    Pick either a status which is shown by name or a parser expression ((info) expects a status ID). If more than one transition is available to reach the configured status, the first found transition will be executed.

  • is blocked by (Blocks) -inward
  • blocks (Blocks) -outward
  • is cloned by (Cloners) -inward
  • clones (Cloners) -outward
  • is duplicated by (Duplicate) -inward

You can even logically link and gather conditions in expressions as you like in order to map more complex conditions.

The post function will only be executed if the condition is met (returns true .).
