Import sub-task without System Admin priviledge

Long Nguyen Xuan September 18, 2025
I am currently using Jira Data Center and need to import multiple sub-tasks. Our Jira system administrator has already enabled the Parent Link and Parent ID fields. However, when I attempt to import sub-tasks, I receive the following error:
"Issue 'my dummy task' doesn't have Subtask Issue Type, its Parent Id mapping will be ignored."


Can we import sub-task without system admin priviledge?

Hi @Long Nguyen Xuan ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

Have you checked if in the project the sub-tasks are enabled? You can check trying to create one manually.

Moreover you can find a guide to import sub-tasks here https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/importing-data-from-csv-938847533.html

thanks for reply,
the link you gave , it direct me to CSV file import wizard . 
the "CSV file import wizard ." required Jira administrators global permission 
I've checked it, and I don't have the Jira Administrators Global Persmission, I'm just a Project Lead,
