Auto population of subtasks when a task is created
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

In my org, for supportability purposes, once a task is created with a specific format and set of tags, in all cases we'll have the need to create subtasks manually to complete the work that has to be done as part of the parent task.

The sub tasks are currently being created and associated manually.

This is a repetitive activity that takes an important amount of time and is subject to inconsistencies and human mistakes (the sub tasks are always containing the same deliverables and sometimes users just forget to open them leading to parent tasks closed that are not necessarily completed).

Having the option to generate a pre-set of subtasks with specific information in them when a task with certain characteristics is created would alleviate this matter for us.

Thanks.

I would explore Conduit and build this feature for yourself, locally.

haha, I was just about to merge!

I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact request ("Build a templated set of tasks in one go") a little while ago (2 months?), but I can't find it.

I'd be interested in the solution (if any) to the request you're mentioning @avivey thanks.

I'm not familiar with what you're suggesting at all @chad mind elaborating a little bit please? Thanks.

Conduit is the programming API to Phabricator. This is a very large request and currently it has little interest from the community. It could take (years) to implement something. Your option then is to build something locally with the hints in T7190.

I see. Thanks for elaborating.
