How can i customize my subtasks issuekey into version format in jira

Question

Hi ,

We are creating multiple subtasks under parent issue type in jira. All the issuekeys are in format like Parent CT-10, Subtasks CT-11,CT-12,CT-13 etc.,

But we are expecting the subtasks like CT-10-1 (or) CT-10.1, CT10-2 (or) CT-10.2 etc.,

Could you please assist how to customize the subtasks issuekey into expected format

Issue keys are generated in order within a project regardless if it is a task or sub-task as they are all issues in the project.  There is no way for you to change this since it is how Jira uniquely identifies an issue.

Hi @Badana Shanmukha Teja

It is not possible to do so. You can identify the subtask from the issue type name.

Is there a reason why you would want the . values?
