Hi @Jira User  Welcome to Atlassian Community!

You can hide Subtask using , Script Fragment feature of Script Runner plugin : 

In Script Fragment >> Create Fragment >> Select Hide UI system or Plugin UI element >> Hide What select "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issueoperations:create-subtask" and apply condition as per your requirement.

Thanks for answer, but I did what you shared. I want to hide the button in the image

Hi @Jira User  This subtask section is only visible when Parent issues is having any subtask/s.  

If Parent issues is having zero subtask then this section won't visible.

Use "com.atlassian.jira.jira-view-issue-plugin:view-subtasks" to hide Subtask section. 

Thanks

If you want to disable the sub-task creation in the Epic type issue, then use other properties (in red frame)

Hello @Jira User  and welcome to the Community!

The ability to create a subtask depends on whether there are any sub-task issue types in your project's issue type scheme. I would check the issue type scheme for your project and remove any sub-task issue types. For example, in a Jira instance I have the following sub-task issue types:

+

If any of these issue types were in my project's issue type scheme, the ability to create a sub-task would be there. If none of these are included in my project's issue type scheme, then the ability to create a sub-task shouldn't be there. You shouldn't need to do anything extra in Scriptrunner to achieve your objective.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your answer

I have to use sub-task issue type. I'll just hide the button

Hello,

Could you explain your use case a little further so I can better understand? I am not understanding yet why you would want to use sub-tasks but hide the ability to create them.

There is another app that i use for flows: It automatically creates  sub-task to jira. For this reason I have to use sub-task, but I want to hide this button to prevent other users from creating sub-tasks according to their wishes.
