Example

This scenario introduces a new Create Sub-task workflow post function to a transition step within an existing workflow.

Background

Our This scenario uses an example ePub workflow that helps teams coordinate the publication of electronic books. While transitioning from the "Open" to "In Draft" steps, let us create a new sub-task within a specific IT Services project in our the Jira instance. This creates a sub-task issue in the backlog of our the Digital Publication team, so their manager can begin to forecast and assign resources.

	Publish and Validate Post Function Click the Publish Draft button to publish changes to your workflow and activate the Create Sub-task post function. Backing up your workflow ahead of publishing is always a good idea. However, in this case, simply publish without a backup. Navigate to your Project in Jira. In our this case, navigate to the ePub project. Create a new issue and then transition to the step where your new Create Sub-task post function is configured. In our this case, this is the In Draft step. Search for new sub-tasks within your project. You should see the new sub-task automatically created with the values you defined in the previous step.
