Is it possible to create a sub-task in a different project?

Mark Argente

Hello,

We have 2 service management projects. Currently, when an issue/task in submitted in project a, we use some automation to also creation an issue/task in project b. What we are trying to do or ask is if it is possible to create a sub-task in project b that is connected to a task in project a.

When I tried it, the audit log in the automation said:

Create issue

Error creating issue

Issues with this Issue Type must be created in the same project as the parent. (project)

But we are just double checking if it really is impossible to do.

Thank you,

Hi @Mark Argente 

Nope, you can't create a sub-task in a different project. Sub-tasks are typically associated with parent issues within the same project. However, you can create a task and link the issue to the other issue. You can name this link type as "is child task of" / "is parent task of" but it won't be same as parent/sub-task relation.
