Job definition - Create sub-job

Create sub-job is used to trigger a follow-on job at a certain point in a job's lifecycle.

This may be another instance of the same job definition or a different one. For instance, when a job is re-assigned it may change from being a customer call-out for a service engineer to a specific repair task requiring parts.

This is usually triggered manually from within the job screen but can also be triggered using Template actions.
