Approximate ETA for sub-tasks in next-gen boards?

James_Robinson

The next-gen boards seem like a perfect fit for me and my team, but we can't really use them without support for sub-tasks.

I notice that sub-tasks are next up on the roadmap, but can we get an approximate timeframe for when they'll be available? Are we talking weeks or months?

We're starting to work on sub-tasks next week. I can't give you an exact timeline I'm afraid but I am hoping to have something available before the end of the year.

Next-Gen projects are useless without this feature, look forward to this feature.

Chris_tcs96p

I've jumped in with Next-gen. (I've been a Jira user for about 10 years and active with Jira Agile for about four years.)

Sub-tasks are really important. I see you are doing releases about once every two weeks or so. Based on this, I was hoping sub-tasks might be available by now and certainly before the end of Nov.

Of course I'll wait but just wanted you to know I'm really hanging on this feature.

Alf Prøven

Any update on this @Eoin? Would be really helpful to get this feature enabled soon.

Eoin

All, to give you all an update - we hit far more technical obstacles with subtasks than we had originally envisioned. As some of you know, we are moving to a microservices architecture and introducing a raft of new technologies as part of the new Jira. The good news is we are very close and should have subtasks available within the issue view within the next few weeks, followed soon after by the ability to track subtasks on the board by enabling swimlanes on the board.
I'm keen to learn more about who uses the swimlanes in your team to track subtasks and in what you would like to see in the swimlane header. If you're free for a 15 min chat, I'd like to show you mockups and ask you some quick questions... https://calendly.com/eoinryan/15min
Thanks all for your patience!

Thanks for the transparency, Eoin. Really appreciated. I’ve signed up for a slot, keen to help.

Hello, any timeline updates on this? Thanks again for your transparency. I realize it's extra effort on top of the work itself.

Marilyn Betsill

Hello, is it possible to get an ETA for subtasks in next gen? Thank you!

All - there is a Jira issue related to this. Most of the recent updates have been provided there. There is an early-release version already being tested by other Jira users (myself included) and the full release is probably not too far away.

Is the early release for cloud?

David Washburn_zzg1og

I really hate to be that guy, but clicking on the link truly will answer most of your questions. Yes, this is for Next-Gen projects which are cloud projects.

Thanks, @Eoin! Any plans to make the sub-task show on the board like they were on classic projects, i.e. not in swimlanes, below the actual story card and indented? (Or with a placeholder header above the subtask if in a different column as the story)?

Swimlanes cause stories to show as lanes instead of cards which means you can no longer drag them to reorder or move them through the workflow, so I don't like them for that reason. The old classic swimlane-less way of handling sub-tasks was perfect.

Thanks!
Frans

@Eoin would really appreciate a response to this, thanks.

This would make them a lot more usable for us - currently they are too cumbersome to view / track.
