Hi @Periyairusagounder_ Sathiya 

You probably don't have permission to move it.
Ask the project administrator to grant you this access. SCR-20251107-ilfd.png

Hi, Sathiya!

Nice to meet you and thanks for leaving a question down the Atlassian Community!

In response to your question: yes, you can move subtasks to a different parent issue — but there are a couple of details to keep in mind depending on your Jira setup.

Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Open the subtask you want to move.

  2. Click the More (•••) menu in the top-right corner.

  3. Select Move.

  4. In the move wizard, you’ll be able to change the parent issue.

  5. Follow the steps and confirm the change.

Hope I helped. Remember, if you struggle with the process, you can always open a support ticket to Atlassian.

Best!

Hi @Periyairusagounder_ Sathiya

Yes, you can move the sub-task to another parent, using the Move feature. See the attached screenshots.

Hey @Periyairusagounder_ Sathiya

In the project's Permission scheme check the Move Issue permission. It is missing for you.
