, configure the fields you prefer with the three 3 JSU operations:

  1. Copy a field value from the origin issue to a new linked issue

  2. Copy the value from one field to another field within the origin issue, and

  3. Set the value of a field in a new linked issue

First, you can copy a field from the origin to the new issue. Let's copy the assignee of the task to the assignee of the subtask. Then, you can copy a value from a field of the origin issue to another field of the origin issue. We'll try it by copying the summary to the description and prepending it with a dash. Configure the last operation by setting a value for the summary of the new issue. We'll set it to "Create contract".

When you are done with your configuration, select Add at the bottom of the page to save the post function. You can do the same for as many subtasks as you want to have automatically created. Finally, publish your workflow and go back to your issue. Move it to
