Jira isn't showing description field for sub-tasks

tinyCabbage

Hello 

The description text box isn't showing when we create a sub-task from a story for some reason. 

Any ideas why that might be?

Issue types can have different "create" and "edit" screens, and you can also limit or hide fields from issue types.  (There's a third possibility, but that only applies to custom fields, so I won't mention it here)

You need to check that

• The sub-task issue type "create" screen has the Description on it (Look at the project config and "issue type screen scheme")
• The sub-task field configuration may have hidden it.  (Look at the project config and "field configuration")
