Save time and link the created issue to its appropriate issue links automatically. For this rule, when creating a Task in a project with the key "CS", this task will get linked issues from all sub-tasks within the same project and with the summary "Maintenance".



Issue event



Add a trigger → Issue event → Issue Created

No further configuration is needed. The automation rule is triggered every time an issue is being transitioned.


Boolean condition

Add a Condition → Boolean Condition 


Expression

Use the following Parser Expression:

%{trigger.issue.project.key} = "CS" and %{trigger.issue.issueType} = "Task"


Create issue link

Next to the Boolean Condition click on Add → Action → Create issue link


Issue link type

Choose relates to (Relates)


Issue selection

Choose Issue List Expression


Use the following Parser Expression:

issuesFromJQL("issuetype = 'Sub-task' AND summary ~ 'Maintenance' AND project = '" + %{trigger.issue.project.name}+"'")



The issuesFromJQL() expression parser returns the issue list of issues returned by the specified JQL query. Visibility restrictions (permissions and issue security) might apply. By default, this query will be run as the current user.
