Goal | Save your team’s time and effort by automatically copying attachments to all of an issue’s subtasks |
|---|---|
Scenario | Imagine you are a Manager and your team was assigned a creative project. You have prepared a Creative Document containing details of the project and have uploaded this in a Jira issue. You have also created sub-tasks subtasks for each team member to work on. To ensure that all team members are aware of the details of the project, you would like to attach this Creative Document in all sub-tasks. All you need to do is configure the JSU Copy/Move attachments post function and it will copy the document from the parent issue to your team’s sub-taskssubtasks. |

Select the
transition.Status colour Blue title in progress Select the Post Functions tab, then click Add Post Function.
Select the Copy/Move attachments (JSU) post function then click Add at the bottom of the page.
Configure the post function:
Choose the Parent/Sub-task Subtask issue relation since you want the post function to perform when the parent issue is transitioned and for the attachments to be copied to the sub-taskssubtasks.
Select the Always copy attachments option from the drop-down menu so that all the attachments you will add during the transition on the transition screen are copied through to the sub-taskssubtasks. You have the option to select a field of your parent issue to have a value, for the attachments to be copied to the sub-tasks. If you use this option, the attachments added on the transition screen will only be copied to the sub-tasks if that field has a value.
Follow the same steps if you want the attachments that existed in your parent issue before the transition started to be copied through as well.
Click Add.
Publish your workflow.
