Sub-task is not visible under create issue dropdown list

Rajat Krishnan_8l82jn

Hello,

As a JIRA admin, i have recently created a new project area where i have added issue, workflow schema

Now if i go under Project settings -> Issue, you can see i have sub-task added to my project as shown below in the attached image

But when i go to create issue - under dropdown menu approval and sub-task both of the issue types are not listed

Could anyone please help me out in this issue

Thanks!!

Hi Rajat,

I hope you are doing well.

Sub-tasks are a sub-issue type in JIRA and are not displayed in the "Create Issue" dropdown list. To create a sub-task, you first need to create the parent issue. Once the parent issue is created, you can add sub-tasks from the issue view.

Here’s how you can create a sub-task:

Create the Parent Issue:
- Go to your project and create the main issue (e.g., Story, Task, Bug) as you normally would.
Open the Parent Issue:
- Once the parent issue is created, open it from the issue list.
Create Sub-task:
- In the issue view, look for the "More" button (usually represented by three dots) or a direct link to "Create sub-task".
- Click on "Create sub-task".
- Fill in the details for the sub-task and save.

This allows you to organize your work efficiently by breaking down larger tasks into manageable sub-tasks.

Hi @Rajat Krishnan , The working principle of Jira is that way only, a sub-task or any issue type at sub-task level can be created within the standard issue type and not directly from create button.

First create any standard issue type(like Task, Story etc) and within the standard issue type you will get the option to create sub-task.

Hope this will be helpful! Thanks

Hello @bhanu teja

Thank you

Hi Rajat,

By default the subtask is link with the story or other issuetype as children. Please see my photo:

What you mean by approval? Can you please provide some context?
