Hello,I need to delete sub-tasks in JIRA. I found several threads of people simply answering "don't do it" but that's not what I'm asking - so please don't reply explaining to me the pro's and con's or why people shouldn't delete in JIRA - that part isn't a discussion I'm looking to have, I'm simply looking for instructions on how to delete a sub-task. I understand board and admin permissions are required, but after that, cannot find a thread that actually gives an answer - mostly just people arguing about why one should or shouldn't delete. Thanks in advance,Jen

How to delete a sub-task in JIRA

Done and was Done

Hi there,

I tried a simple filter to look up all the ticket was in "Done" and now is "Done" and something it only show those that are now Done but not was "Done". What did I do wrong?

==============

project = "XX" AND status = Done AND createdDate < endOfMonth(-1) AND createdDate >= startOfMonth(-1) OR project = "XX" AND status was in (Done) AND createdDate < endOfMonth(-1) AND createdDate >= startOfMonth(-1) order by priority DESC, created ASC

==============

Thanks for solving the mystery in advance.

Regards

Hello,

There is no difference between deleting a subtask and a task. You need the Delete Issues permission in the project permission scheme. That is all. Then you open a subtask in the detail issue view and choose More->Delete

Great thank you! I will review the settings and make sure I have the "Delete Issues" permission set up (I must not based on what I'm seeing). Thanks!

I found that despite the fact that I created the project, and could use the project perfectly well in other respects, I was not automatically added as a user of the project (in Project Settings -> People).

I needed to add myself as a user of the project (and as an Administrator) before the option to delete appeared.
