how to convert subtask to story?
hi,
simply move your issue to the same project but choose the story issue type.
moving your issue can be done thanks to the 3 dots on the top right corner of your issue view and choose "Move".
cheers,
damien.
There will be a "convert sub-task to issue" option in the tools menu on the issue view (along with log work, attach, etc)
I cannot find "convert sub-task to issue" only change parent..
Do you have "create issue" rights in that project?
If you do, and you still don't have the option to convert sub-tasks to issues, then you'll need to ask your administrators to revert whatever it is they have done to remove it.
Hi matilda majed,
Sub-task issue -->view issue screen see more options ---> select convert to issue.
Or maybe need to use "Move Issue" instead of "Edit Issue" in bulk change wizard?
There's a problem with the new Issue View that Atlassian released a little while back. You just have to switch back to the classic issue-view and you should see it in the "More Actions" menu.
This is sort pain in the ASS.
Why not have Project - Project Version - Epic - Story - Task - Sub-task. I suppose this is the SCRUM structure. Atlassian made it this way in the previous version, but the new version seems to stupid. Who's the their new business analyst?
Scrum is Epic -> Story -> (sub)task. Jira is unlikely to change away from that, as that structure has been fundamental almost since it was first written.
Tried Move - get a message:"There are no other sub-task issue types associated with this project."
So you're saying Story represents Task sort of? But it would be great if there is Task for Story and Sub-task for Task. With this structure more details can be captured.
Thanks anyway.
No, a task is an issue type that you could have at the same level as a story or below as a sub-task level. Or not at all if you choose not to have tasks.
Any issue at the story level can have sub-tasks of any type you define.
Turns out you have to switch to the Old View to see the option to "Convert to Issue".
Thank you so much Bill! Saved my life! Is this new or we've just been blind? I guess I was always going to MOVE so maybe i missed it. Makes a world of a difference, thanks!
productivity is reduced by constant design framework changes, and then not implementing features in the new design. This keeps happening with Atlassian.
Just pres dot "." and type "issue", in new version you can convert it right away!
If you go to "all issues" view, and you filter what you want to change, there is an option now on the top right "..." menu that says "bulk change" (which of course you can use for a single issue as well).
If you click the icon next to the ticket number you will find a dropdown menu where you can select the correct type.
