If you need this to happen automatically upon creating, you want to
read the docs for the CreateTickets action shipped with core RT.  It
allows for the programmatic creation of 1 or more tickets based on
certain conditions, extracting information from the original ticket
and setting up links, etc.  It's what is used to configure Approvals.

You can see the docs with perldoc
/opt/rt4/lib/RT/Action/CreateTickets.pm

ForkIntoNewTicket and SpawnLinkedTicketsWithQueue are manual
processes and are available on the ticket Display page.
