How to mass add sub tasks to Parent tasks

We have a fusion scenario that mass generates unique job id tasks for us however we haven't determined a solve for how to mass add subs tasks(workflows) to these job id tasks. The job id tasks become the parent and then we have to add sub tasks or our templates. I've tried duplicating and copy features, but this isn't going to work for scale. We could have 300 job tasks generated for one project. Are there any helpful tips on how to mass add sub tasks to parent tasks? My next item would be to go back to our Sys Admin to see if they make a new fusion scenario that would allow us to add tasks along with the job creation scenario they already built for us.

In Fusion this would be really simple. You would just need the taskID of the parent and projectID, then to create a new sub task you would use a create task module, set parentID and projectID.

Thanks so much for the quick responses. I will review this with our System Adm to see if we can get this solution implemented. Just so I'm clear you are saying that fusion could potentially add templates (with a series of sub tasks) to a parent task? We have about 20 custom templates that different tasks so I want to give people the ability to mass generate tasks and then apply multiple workflows without having to do this manually.

Yes you can attach a template in Fusion - works like you attach a template in the UI.

There is no "batch create tasks" function so you in Fusion you need to add one by one via an iterator. 

 

Can you not create a template and attach that to the project?
