Create multiple sub-tasks 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 required JQL query as shown below:

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

Create a text file with createIssue action and fill the required data with summary, parent, type parameters as shown in the following screenshot:
Combine the actions runFromIssueList and run with Demo filter and text file to create multiple sub-tasks for JQL results. This example works because the text file contains createIssue action and it has the relevant parameters.
```
--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 behavior before implementing it in production.
