How to create subTask in jira

[Yash_nigam]

Hi 

Can someone guide me on how to create sub task on jira version used on cloud . 

[Jacob Vu]

Hi @Yash_nigam

Sub-tasks are a child of stories and so they can be created under a story. 

Is that what you're looking to do?

Hi 

Jacob thank for reply . that I know . but I am not able to create sub task in following sequence  user story-task -sub task .

[Jacob Vu]

Hi @Yash_nigam

That's not really possible as stories and tasks are at the same level hierarchy wise. Unless you have Jira Software premium which gives you Advanced Roadmaps, that would help as AR allows you to create custom hierarchies.

In the detail issue view of a story or task you should see an icon to creat child.

Please share screenshot of your detail view of a story.

Have you tried “Add child issue” shown in your image?

[Yash_nigam]

No , but we have sub task feature available in cloud Jira which is we are using currently . 

[Jack Brickey]

If you click “add a child “ you will create a subtask issue. Or am I missing your point/goal here?

[Yash_nigam]

Hi 

let me try . 

[Yash_nigam]

Hi 

child issue will create another issue . we want to create sub task within task . for example testing database is task and testing sql database is subtask within task . 

[Jack Brickey]

That makes no sense to be perfectly honest. Clicking add a child will always create a sub task of the current issue in all of my projects. If you were saying something else I recommend contacting Atlassian support.
