New Subtask issue type in Next-Gen project

Richard Steele_ik5bfb

In Next Gen Projects, we have sub tasks - however, my QA wants to add bugs to the User Story and then view them in the scrum board under the user story - The only way i thought we could achieve this was to create a new issue type as "Sub Type Bug", using  a Sub Type issue (template) however i cannot find how to create a new sub type issue type under project settings - can anyone help?

Thank-you

Hello Richard,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

Indeed, in JIRA Next-gen you can only use the default single type of sub-task for now. In fact, the sub-task functionality is a relatively new feature in next-gen (It was implemented two months ago as you can see in this link), so I believe our developers will be adding further improvements to it in the next months.

For reference, you can check below the feature request opened to allow the creation of multiple sub-task types in Next-gen projects:

- Allow the creation of Multiple Sub-task issue types in Next-gen
