Description Multi-select, multi-checkbox, and similar custom field types can have multiple values. This makes conditioning a bit more tricky than standard single value fields.  The value returned for the custom field is a comma separated list of the values selected. References How to condition the creation of issues Be more careful when choice text overlaps This is a simple example where choice text is distinct. You must be more careful with your condition logic if text for one entry is a subset of another entry. Example field configuration Name:  custom-multi-checkbox In this case, the  value of  %custom-multi-checkbox%  will be: check1,check3 Example 1 This example shows a condition to match anytime  check1  has been selected. This means it will create when  check1  has been selected in the original issue. Example 2 This example shows conditioning that matches when both  check1  and  check2  have been selected. Both must be selected in the original issue in order for the subtask to be created. Example 3 This example show conditioning that matches when either  check1  or  check2  have been selected.
