Description

Create Issue, Update Issues, and Create Subtask post functions support a number of fields for a configuration that helps you control when the issue or subtask should be created or updated and what information is associated with the issue or subtask once created or updated.

Important Notes

If the issue is not a subtask, then the Parent Issue is the same as the Original Issue (the issue that originally started the transition).
Unless otherwise indicated, most fields are common to Create Issue, Create Subtask and Update Issues.

Sections containing field configurations

The configuration screen contains sections of powerful configuration options.

On the top right corner of any selectable field, when you hover over you can see usable icons that help you switch between one of the following modes:

Select value (default) - select a value from the available list of options or type in the field to select a value from the auto-suggestions
Set value - enter a value as required from the Substitution variables list

Basic fields

The following configuration fields are most commonly used by customers.
