Is there a field in Sub Task showing the Story parent ?

[Calvin Low Yan Ming]

In the Story issue type, sub tasks created are shown in the "Sub-Tasks" field.

However, the opposite is not possible. Is there a "Parent" field in Sub-Task issue type?

Hi @Calvin Low Yan Ming

The Sub-task's parent is visualised at the top of the page.

Above the summary is the name of the project, the parent story and the sub-task's key which will look like this:

<Project> / <Parent Key> <Parent Name> / <Sub-task Key>

This provides the view of the parent.

In an issue search, the parent appears inline with the Sub-task's summary. During an export it splits into a Parent ID column - this ID matches the parent's Issue ID.

i see. Thank you for the answer.

Do you know of a way to add this Parent field in subtask during Create or Edit ?

i was told by the vendor there are two plugins Jira for Automation and Script Runner.

But no steps are given.

Hi @Calvin Low Yan Ming 

Not that I know of - the standard method is to "move" sub-tasks between parents, via More > Move.

You might be able to automate a move depending on a trigger - and I'd expect you can visualise the parent in a field using ScriptRunner - but not sure you can create an editable field using either of these apps.

For example this field description on Scriptrunner's wiki might be of interest.
