Move sub tasks between task and story within same project

boardtc

The move funcatinality is only setup to work between projects and between stories within the same project. If I want to move a number of sub tasks from a task to a story within the same project the only way I have found is:

- convert to issue

- convert to sub-task and select the new story to be parent

This can't be done via bulk edit and so has to be done manually for each task.

Is there a smater way?

This cannot be done and should be added at some point. I have added the feature request - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-27149

I can't help you with the volume question, but changing the parent of an issue doesn't involve changing issue type.

Go to a sub-task, and "move" it. You'll be asked for project and *parent*. Leave project alone and choose the new parent issue.

We are using Jira 4.3 and cannot bulk move a sub-task within a project, only to move it out. However, if you go to the current parent, locate the sub-task in the Sub-Tasks section, then select the individual sub-task to move from there. You will see the Change Parent selection here.

Just came back to comment. The one I was changing was a task not a story (clarified above). So to move sub tasks between a task and a story, one can convert the former to a story first and then do as you describe as an alternative to the method I described

You can do that when the moving between a task and a story not strory to story? if so that's an addition in Jira 4.3, we are using 4.2.2

Robert Matthews

A sub-task can be moved between any parent type (standard issuetype) that exists in the project's Issue Type Scheme. So, yes, a sub-task may be moved between Story, Task, or other issuetype of your project.

It does not work as you describe in 4.2.2 for task to story

+1 I was able to move a sub-task to another task (as a subtask) by using the Move option and assigning the sub-task to the new Parent.
