This article explains how to create multiple sub-tasks for from JQL filter results using the Jira Command Line Interface (CLI) app.

Instructions

  1. Create a filter called Demo with the JQL query .as shown:

    Code Block
    themeMidnight
    project = "Support Request" AND issuetype = Task AND resolution is EMPTY


  2. Create a text file with CreateIssue action and filled out with parent , type , summary parameters.(named as subtasks.txt in this example) with createIssue action, and specify the summaryparent, and type parameters as shown:
  3. Combine the actions runFromIssueList  runFromIssueList and run to  actions, Demo filter, and, the text file to create multiple sub-tasks for from the JQL results. This example works because the text file contains the createIssue action with the relevant parameters.

    Code Block
    themeMidnight
    --action runFromIssueList --jql "filter = Demo" --common "--action run --file "/Users/appfireuser001/Documents/subtasks.txt" "


Info

It is recommended to test this scenario in a test environment or run the action with the --simulate parameter to verify the behavior before deploying.
