Getting error please select an epic for creating subtask

supriya deshmukh_zlvxyz

Hi All,

I am trying to create a subtask in jira story.

For this i am trying to add field configuration, where i found epic link is locked. Even if I removed from screen, I am not able to remove from field configuration. This results in error in creating subtask. I am getting error as please select an epic even if there is no field for selecting epic on the screen. I want sub task to be created under story not an epic. So want to remove epic link from field configuration. Can someone help?

Forget the field configuration, it is not the problem here.

The code for Epic link looks at the issue type and the field itself, but it is not mandatory anywhere (you can't put it on Epics or sub-task types). I suspect your error is being driven by something else.

Could you give us the exact text of the error?

please see the screenshot above. Mine is company managed project. We had hierarchy as epic-> story. Now I want to add task/subtask under user story. For this I copied Issue type scheme of story itself to create issue type scheme for task. Then I tried to edit field configuration to remove all the unwanted fields while creating tasks e.g. epic name/epic link. I could remove them from screen. But for field configuration it shows required. Don't understand how to resolve it. I don't want all these fields mandatory for subtask creation.
