The following configuration will create 2 new issues when the transition is activated. One will be assigned to tom and one will be assigned to sally. - Set multiple issue value field to: tom, sally
- Set the assignee field to: Specific user with the specific user field set to: %entry%
- Save and publish
You can do a similar thing for any other field. To demonstrate, lets assume you set the summary field to: Issue for %entry%. Because there are 2 entries in the comma separated list (and no additional filtering defined), 2 issues are going to be created each with a different summary. | Position | %entry% | Issue | Summary |
|---|
| 1 | tom | First issue created | Issue for tom | | 2 | sally | Second issue created | Issue for sally |

Advanced Examples
There are many ways to get a comma separated list of values. The simple example above just uses a hardcoded list, but the more interesting use cases are using Substitution variables to create the list. For example:
- Using results of a JQL query to create an issue for each issue found - see How to create multiple issues - advanced example
- A checkbox custom field - creating an issue for each selected item
- A select list custom field - creating an issue for each selected item
- Fix or affects version field - creating an issue for each version
- Components field - creating an issue for each component
