How can we have we make subtask that can be pulled across the kanban board without the main task?

[Alexa McCoy]

We sent up our Jira to show all marketing activity as one project. 
We use epics for our large bucket areas of focus. 
We use standards task issues to replay "things that need to be done" 
Lastly, we use sub-tasks to break the task down if there are multiple participants that need to be involved in solving the issue. 

This works for us as our director wants to see everything in a list view. However,, we can not being sub task to different swim lanes on the Kanban board to show when a subtask is complete or ready for review. 

Can we edit the settings of the subtask to make them movable without moving the overall task?

You've just explicitly ruled out all the best ways to do it, so I'm afraid you're stuck.

The best way to do it is use field configurations as intended.

The second best way is to use validators, although you could look into combining them with some (usually ugly, and decoupled from the validator) hacks to place informative text on the page to warn users that the fields are required.

Field Configuration defined its behaviour during all the workflow. I do not want it.

Thanks for your rapid response.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Yes, so move to the second best way to do it. I'm afraid you don't have many options here really. Validators and a hack to provide visual information are the best option.

Nic,

I am trying to use "Message field" from Jira Toolkit Plugin.

Is possible to use it for Create screen?

Or to insert informative text?

Thanks.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Yes, you'll need to use a field that is for "edit" screens, but you can put whatever text you like on-screen with that.

[Avi Ziv]

It's does not appears in Create Screen, even if in 'where is my field', everything is correct...
Thank you a lot.

This is one of the trade offs in using a COTS product.
