> A workflow post function that creates one or more new issue(s). The specifications of the issue(s) to be created can be customized using the options provided.

> ℹ️ **Note**: When creating issues using this post function, some consideration is required for specific fields in the new issue(s): 
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ - **Sprint** - If you are setting the **Sprint** field (manually or when copying fields), and you try to assign the new issue to a closed sprint, the value will not copy. If you are adding multiple sprints to the **Sprint** field and one of those values is a closed sprint, that value will not be copied (but the other sprint values will be copied).
