Create multiple subtasks for JQL filter results using Jira Command Line Interface (CLI)

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

Instructions

Create a filter called Demo with JQL query:

project = "Support Request" AND issuetype = Task AND resolution is EMPTY

Create a text file with CreateIssue action and fill the required data with parent , type , summary parameters:

Combine the actions runFromIssueList and run to create multiple sub-tasks for JQL results.

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

It is recommended to test this scenario in a test environment or run the action with the --simulate parameter to verify the behaviour before implementing it in production.
