Use case
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.
Configuration
Add an Create issue post function to the workflow transition you want. The Create issue transition might be the best choice here.
