In the new Jira UI, how do I convert a story into a sub-task of another story?

Luca Naso

I was used to converting a Story directly into a Sub-task of another existing story.

However, in the new Jira-UI, I only see how to convert ("move") a story into a task (or bug or epic), but not into a subtask.

Anybody knows how to do that now?

Hi @Luca Naso

According to the documentation https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracorecloud/creating-issues-and-sub-tasks-765593815.html , You can't do this in the new issue view just yet

To update this Question, today as of March 4th, 2019, you CAN convert a Task or any type of issue into a sub-task, just by clicking the 3 dots (...) icon to the far right of the issue title and selecting MOVE. In the Move issue screen, you must select the sub-task (you got to have it enabled or added as an issue type in the project settings) issue type and follow the prompts to finish the process. That's it.

Hey@Fazila Ashraf, thank you for your prompt answer.

It's a pity that this feature is not available yet. I hope it will come asap.

Do you know if it is in roadmap?

Hi @Luca Naso

I do not know but you can watch the confluence page - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracorecloud/the-new-jira-issue-view-938040503.html to see what new changes they keep bringing to the new view

Yep!

Thank you for updating

Hello @Martz

thanks for your answer. However, I have tried and I still do not see the "sub-task" target when converting an issue, i.e. when entering in the "move" menu.

Can you please share some screenshot?

Ditto. In the Old View I can convert an issue into a sub-task or create a sub-task, but in the New View it only all allows you to Move it to a new project or new issue type, but not a sub-task.

I was also looking to convert a sub-task into an issue and could not find a way to do that in the New View either. Had to go to the Old View.

So while it's been painful, I have been trying to migrate myself to the New View, but without full functionality it's not a viable option.

As of 2023, there is a dedicated "Convert to SubTask" menu item in the "..." dropdown menu for any Jira issue. I'm running the Jira cloud version.
