How can I add a "Create SubTask" button on a view issue screen?

I am looking for a way to add a button to the view issue screen that opens the create subtask widget.

Is there any simple way?

Many thanks

Hi, You can use Adaptivist ScriptRunner plugin to create a Script Field (HTML) that creates a button with /jira/secure/CreateSubTaskIssue!default.jspa?parentIssueId=$parentIssueId Then add it to the view screen of your (parent) issue. :) Here is an example, if a contact person issue type was of a sub-task type: def baseurl = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getApplicationProperties().getString("jira.baseurl") String contactPersonIssueTypeId = "11002" //Contact Person def subtaskCreationUrl = baseurl+"/secure/CreateSubTaskIssue!default.jspa?parentIssueId="+issue.getId()+"&issuetype="+contactPersonIssueTypeId String createSubtaskLinkLabel = "Add contact person" String createSubtaskLinkTitle = "Add a new Contact Person for this issue" def completeLink = ""+createSubtaskLinkLabel+"" return completeLink

In this case i'm not sure about any easier ways, but you could create a Web Panel Plugin Module with the location set to "atl.jira.view.issue.left.context". This would provide you with a new panel in the issue details view, which you could either use as location for your button or as a way of injecting some Javascript, which could place a button somewhere next to the other buttons in the upper area of the page.
