Showing sub tasks on JIRA board

Vicenco Tarabene

Hi everyone

I would like for the sub tasks to be visible by default on every member's board?
So that every person will see the ones that are assigned to him / her. Is that possible?

The only option I see at the moment is for every person to have "group by subtask" filter for the board

Thanks

Hi @Vicenco Tarabene welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Kanban board: You should go to board settings -> swimlanes and choose Stories. In this case subtasks will be under the parent.
Scrum board: Subtasks are not visible in the Scrum boards in the Backlog view. But subtasks are visible in the Active Sprint view.

Hi, I have my kanban board, and I dont see any "swimlanes" options in the Configure board menu, where I can find that option?

thanks

I experience the same problem. There is no "swimlane" tab or option in the board settings in my current project. Thought I remember having them on the other. What could be the reason for such a difference? @Dave Mathijs

Dave Mathijs

@Carlos or @Vasily Kasatkin

You are in a company-managed software project, right?

Could you please share a screenshot of the board settings of your kanban board?

It should look like this:

Unfortunately it is a team-managed project.

And settings of the boar look like this:

@Dave Mathijs do you think I can do anything about it? there are more limitations connected to it: e.g. I can not delete issues, cause I can not manage permission schemes.

So I guess, everything is limited because it is a team-managed project.

If yes, then my question would be how can I change it?

Dave Mathijs

In case of a team-managed project, you can only group by:

Assignee
Epic
Subtask

Epic is only visible when it's defined as an issue type within the project.

So no real swimlanes here.

Hi @Dave Mathijs how can I show thos subtasks in my active sprint view? Can't find the right setup for it.
And is there a difference between childissues and subtask?
I'm using a scrum board by the way,

Let me know please!

Nicolas Keller

This is the correct answer, but actually not a solution to the problem. We are also on a team-managed SCRUM board and would love to see the subtasks on the default view right away. Would it be possible for Atlassian to add an option for this? Where's the best place to ask for this?

Just select "Group By: Subtask" and it shows subtasks in active sprints.

Why i still can't see subtask in my active sprint board even after setting swimlanes to stories ?
If we have already swimlane for features, how can i view subtasks ?

Gerrit Hahn

Is anyone from Jira attending these, how does one submit a feature request?

The "No Subtasks in Boards, even if you need it" rule really makes no sense and is extremely frustrating.

That we end up there by creating Team Managed projects doesn't help either: During the setup the Team Managed Projects promise more flexibility, hence we choose those. Maybe they can at least change the copy.

Spending hours to set up a project, only to learn this limitation much later, really bugs me and doesn't help much convincing the team to deploy Jira as a work management platform.

Hi all,

This might be a bit off-topic, but we encountered a similar situation. In response, we developed a small app specifically for managing sub-tasks, similar to how they’re handled on physical Scrum boards. We recently decided to publish it for free, as it benefits us—and it may be useful to you as well.

Regards, Bernie
