Add column to list of Sub-Tasks

Rene Rath

We are hosting Jira ourselves and in our setup, Stories have Sub-Tasks. In the detail view of a story, I do see the related Sub-Tasks, but I only see their status, summary, type, assignee and work log. I want to add a column to display the ID of each sub task.

I am aware that I do see the ID when I hover over the sub task summary, but in order to minimise risks for mixups and misunderstandings, I want the ID in plain sight as a separate column.

When I go to

admin panel > System > General Configuration > Advanced

I currently see "issuetype, status, assignee, progress" in the field "jira.table.cols.subtasks". Is this the right spot to add that column? And if so, what is that field's name? "id", "issue id" and "issueid" all yield "The following fields are invalid" followed by whatever I tried so far.

From memory, you need either key or issuekey. (For custom fields, you can hover over them, get their ID and then put in customfield_xxxxx)

Do you mean the issuekey ? Id is the 6 digit numeric value.

issuekey was the key! Cheers, Jobin & Nic!

Hi Jobin,

Do you know what is the field name that gives the sub task issue type name? i want to see sub task issue type name when i am viewing my parent issue.

sub task type name like Bug, New Feature..

Appreciate your help

Hi Krishna,

To know the issuetype name use the word 'issueType'.

I can't seem to get to this configuration in JIRA 6. Did something change? I want to be able to view the issuekey of my linked sub-tasks on parent tickets

Does this option available with OnDemand as well??

Rene Rath

Cannot say, I only have an OnPremise instance of jira. Maybe someone else can answer Vivek's question?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I don't think it is - I've got an OnDemand here and I can't get into the advanced stuff under general config.

In JIRA 6.4, I added the issue key by editing Admin > System > General Configuration > Advanced > jira.table.cols.subtasks as follows:

issuekey, issuetype, status, assignee, progress

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Think that one is just "version" (the other version os affectversion)

Chris Longfield

Thanks Nice, that list is good. The key for that field is fixVersions (note the plural and the cap)

Eric Salonen

Any idea what the variable is for attachment? Seems like most of the variables listed in the IssueFieldConstants page are invalidated when entered into the Advanced Settings (JIRA 6.4)

This works when you open the issue with "View Issue in Jira". Is there any hope of managing what shows up in the details pane that opens to the right of the backlog view when you select an issue? I would like to be able to add the IssueType to the Subtask list in that view.

RL Prasad

Jeff, did you get a solution for this , I am also looking for the same, and my issue is the sub-tasks order is different in "View Issue in Jira" and it is other way in the the details pane that opens to the right of the backlog view. How to get the same order in both views?

Thanks for this, exactly what I needed. I am kind of afraid to try it though to my prod environment

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Don't be - the worst case is you'll get a name Jira doesn't recognise and that will give you a blank column with whatever you put in the settings as a header.

e.g. issuekey, customfield_10010, cat, issuetype, 52345, status

Would give you the header

Key, (name of customfield), cat, Issue Type, 52345, Status

With no data in the cat or 52345 columns.

If in doubt, just copy and paste the existing string into a text editor to keep a hold of it to re-paste it in (or come back here and paste in Paul's string)

Pete P_lbwqsx

Worked perfectly, thanks Nic!

I ended up finding the app https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212709/issue-matrix

Highly recommend, does a whole lot!
