The **Create Issue** and **Create Sub-task** and post functions use the following terminology. The terminology is also used in substitution variables.

| Term | Definition |
| --- | --- |
| **original** | The original issue that started the workflow transition. This could be an issue or sub-task. |
| parent | The parent issue of the **original** issue. If the **original** issue is **not** a sub-task, then parent is the same as **original**. |
| entry | The issue currently being created and processed. |
| entry_parent | The parent of the sub-task entry being created. Available only when creating sub-tasks for an issue that is different than the parent of the original issue. |
| sibling | A sibling issue is a sub-task with the same parent as the **original issue. **In this case, the **Create Sub-task** post function may optionally create a **sibling** of the original issue. |
