Cant Create a subtask

Arne Theisen November 22, 2023

Hello everybody, 

i can't create Sub Tasks in a Kanban Task. 

So here are some Screen Shots.

If  i click convert to a subtask. it works. When i convert one task to a subtask, i can create more subtasks in the task, without convert.jira_subtask3.png

If i create an another Issue Type, not an sub task issue type, i can create this issue types over the Issue, like this.

So, is it possible, that i dont have the button create Subtasks?

Thanls Arne

Hi @Arne Theisen 

You can create sub-tasks on Issue Types which are not at the Epic-level in the issue hierarchy.

It seems like Task might not be - so I'd check that first. To do this...

  • Go to Settings (cog icon in top-right) > Issues
  • Select Issue Type Hierarchy from the left-hand menu
  • Check if Task is specifically set on this page at level 1

Let us know what you find :)

Hi @Arne Theisen 

That's the issue - the Epic level cannot have sub-tasks below it - there are feature requests for this:

^ This also includes Issue Types set at that level also.

To remedy this, move Task to a different level, or remove it entirely so it defaults to Level 0.
