Is there a way to not have the Create screen pop up for sub-tasks when you add them?

Question

I have two projects - the sub-tasks in each project have the same required fields , yet on one project I can add a subtask without the Create screen popup by just entering the subject name inline.   In the other project I add the subject name inline, but the create dialog still displays without any further required fields.

I've been trying to find any other differences in how these two projects are set up that would cause this but could not find any.   The workflow "create" transition in both projects have the same validators (create issues permission required) and post functions.

I have found some discussions about the new issue view which say the Create popup will appear if there are any required fields, but in some of our projects, it does not appear even though there are required fields.

Does anyone have an answer about why this would behave this way?   Thanks in advance

We see this happening indiscriminately within the same project, which rules out it being governed solely by specific required fields, often the pop-up dialog appears and sometimes (preferred!) it doesn't, and this inconsistent behavior regularly happens within one session editing the same parent story or task, in a single browser tab.

It has been happening to me frequently over the last few days, which is what prompted me to come looking to see if there's a "turn off the pop-up create sub-task dialog" setting somewhere!

Hi Trudy, yes I did check the validators, but they are the same on both projects and don't check a field.

A field may be marked as required in the Field Configuration (which should put a red asterisk next to it on the Create Issue dialog) or it can be "required" by virtue of having a Validator on the workflow transition that checks the field. You mentioned that you checked the workflow Post Functions, but you didn't mention if you check the Validators. Have you checked both of those for both of these projects?
