Showing sub tasks on JIRA board

[Vicenco Tarabene]

Hi everyone

I would like for the sub tasks to be visible by default on every member's board?
So that every person will see the ones that are assigned to him / her. Is that possible? 

The only option I see at the moment is for every person to have "group by subtask" filter for the board

Thanks

Hi @Vicenco Tarabene welcome to the Atlassian Community!

• Kanban board: You should go to board settings -> swimlanes and choose Stories. In this case subtasks will be under the parent.
• Scrum board: Subtasks are not visible in the Scrum boards in the Backlog view. But subtasks are visible in the Active Sprint view.

Hi @Dave Mathijs how can I show thos subtasks in my active sprint view? Can't find the right setup for it.
And is there a difference between childissues and subtask?
I'm using a scrum board by the way,

Let me know please!

Hi, I have my kanban board, and I dont see any "swimlanes" options in the Configure board menu, where I can find that option?

thanks

I experience the same problem. There is no "swimlane" tab or option in the board settings in my current project. Thought I remember having them on the other. What could be the reason for such a difference? @Dave Mathijs

@Carlos or @Vasily Kasatkin 

You are in a company-managed software project, right?

Could you please share a screenshot of the board settings of your kanban board?

It should look like this:

Unfortunately it is a team-managed project.

And settings of the boar look like this:

@Dave Mathijs do you think I can do anything about it? there are more limitations connected to it: e.g. I can not delete issues, cause I can not manage permission schemes. 

So I guess, everything is limited because it is a team-managed project. 

If yes, then my question would be how can I change it?

[Dave Mathijs]

In case of a team-managed project, you can only group by:

• Assignee
• Epic
• Subtask

Epic is only visible when it's defined as an issue type within the project.

So no real swimlanes here.

@Dave Mathijs but the problem with 'grouping" function is the same as was described in the very first post here: one can see subtasks ONLY when groped by subtasks which is uncomfortable for my team cause these subtasks are located in a swimmlane of their user story. 

So is there a chance I can get more settings now?

Maybe to switch to company-managed type of project?

Maybe you know how?

[Dave Mathijs]

You cannot switch project type. In that case, you'll need to create a new company-managed project (with a different project key!) and move all issues from the team-managed project to the company-managed project afterwards (with limitations).

There's no possibility to get more settings.

This is another reason why I stay clear of team-managed projects.

Thanks for your help!
