In JIRA cloud version how to create multiple sub tasks for a task? 

In server version of JIRA, when you go to task>from More button you can select the option to create multiple sub tasks and this feature seems to be not there in cloud version. Please can someone tell me how to do this in cloud version?

Hi @Roshini Kulaweera ,

Welcome to the community !!

Create multiple subtasks in Jira server is not an inbuilt function. This should be part of one of the apps. 
You can check Atlassian marketplace for such apps for Jira cloud as well.

Hi @Roshini Kulaweera and welcome to the community,

First and foremost, in order to create subtask your admin must activate the use of subtasks within your instance (instructions here https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-sub-tasks/).

Second, in order for you to create a subtask, the subtask as an issue type must be present in the issue type scheme of your project. If it's not, you'll not be able to create subtasks.

If the two above are valid, then you can create subtask:

And to create multiple subtasks you could:

1. Use Jira Automation
2. Import them from a CSV if you know the issue key
