Can we highlight more SUBTASK box in Kanban

patrick_delage

Hi, I like that subtask has a box (borderline box) under his task.  But I found it a little too invisible and difficult to see. Look at my attachment.... is there a way to highlight this box more? Maybe with color? Of course, all this automatically...

 

Maybe if there is a way to collapse/UN-collapse, can make the job ...

Hi @patrick_delage and welcome to the Community!

This might be a preview of what is underway, as this is from my test site that is already using the new Jira navigation (that should be rolling out to your site in the coming weeks or months too):

I've done a couple of things here to highlight subtasks better in my board. I have applied Group By stories, which actually does create expandable swimlanes for each story with its subtasks underneath.

This is a feature that overlaps with the more old-school swimlanes feature of boards. And even though I only have the new navigation around for 6 weeks or so, I can't really remember if this group by did exist already on the old layout.

So I also added card colours to highlight the subtasks a bit more. It is the coloured edge that you can see on the left hand side of the subtask cards on the board. You can implement those in Board settings > Card layout and use a filter to identify subtasks like this:

issuetype in subtaskIssueTypes()

Without the grouping by story applied, the sub-tasks still display like this:

Hope this helps!
