Here is the case :
And yes, I have tried the following with no success:
Any idea that can help me solve this?
HI @jmorten
In Atlassian view of agile, only the top level tasks are useful for ranking and planning, so the sub-tasks aren't shown in the backlog.
it depends how you view sub-tasks. If you need to include dependencies in your planning then the other tools like roadmaps might help.
When you place a Task or Story on the board, it will show its sub-tasks.
"Atlassian view of agile" is a correct description. I have no idia on why other community leaders say that Scrum have no place for sub-tasks.
Scrum DO NOT say how you should work with your task and should you or not dismantle a story into several sub-task.
Limiting scrum board to Story only making it useless for companys with big products where you simply can't do a single Story in a regular 2 weeks sprint or if you have to distribute work among team members.

Yes, Scrum does not have anything to say about sub-tasks.
That's why they are not sprint items - they're a part of a story, not sprint items in their own right.
Scrum works fine for large companies (certainly better than waterfall) with large stories - remember a part of Scrum is backlog refinement which that includes breaking up stories into smaller parts so they can be completed by the team in a sprint.

Sub-tasks have no use in a Scrum backlog (they appear in Kanban because Kanban sees a sub-task as being something that needs doing, just like a standard-level issue. It does not really do anything with sub-tasks).
So, as a backlog's main function is planning, based on sizing and ranking, there's no point seeing sub-tasks in it; they're irrelevant noise.
However, you can get them shown in a basic sense - if you add the "sub tasks" field to the backlog card layout, their keys will be shown as part of their parent issue.
