Not able to create new issue type

Question

My project has Epic, bug, incident and story as issue types. I am trying to add new issue type as sub task. However I cant see the option to add new issue type. I have administrator access as well for the project. Still I cant find the option for it. Can someone help here?

I suspect you may be looking at a team-managed project in Cloud Jira.

These have only one sub-task, you can only enable one type and it's called "sub task".

For a company managed project (Cloud, Server or DC),  Daniel's answer is the one to mark correct.

Hi @supriya deshmukh

If you are trying to add the default 'sub-task' issue type into the projects scheme then you can do this by:

* Go to the project and in the bottom left, click project settings.
* Then go to issues, then click types.
* Click actions towards the top right and edit issue types.
* Find 'Sub-task' in the right hand list and drag it into the left hand side list.
* Click save at the bottom.

If you are trying to add a new subtask issue type entirely then:

* in the top right hand corner click the cog, then issues.
* This will load you onto the issuetype tab. In the top right click add issuetype.
* Give it a name, icon and select 'Sub-task' issue type from the radio button select list.

Hope this information helps.
