How do I create more types of sub-tasks?

[Totore Ideatore]

I currently use the only type of sub-task available through Jira, but I need to create several types, and I've managed to create them, but they don't appear in the desired frame

Hi @Totore Ideatore,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Are you using a company managed project or team managed project? If it is a company managed project you have to update the issue type scheme that the project is using before the new issue type will be available.

Hi @Mikael Sandberg

Thanks for the welcome

I'm using team managed business, even if you create the other types in the same way as the standard sub-task, they don't appear

Okay, so team managed projects can only have a single sub-task, you cannot create new ones in it. The screen shot above is showing issue types available for company managed projects, and those cannot be used in a team managed one.

Got it, thank you very much!

Is it possible to switch to team company managed projects safely and without data loss?

[Mikael Sandberg]

I haven't moved an issue over from a team managed project to a company managed one if you have custom field in it. But you can export all issues to a csv file and then import them into the new project and make sure that fields are mapping correctly.

It might work, thanks!
