A subtask is a more minor, specific component or part of a larger task or project. It is typically a task that must be completed to achieve the overall goal or objective. Subtasks help break down complex tasks into more manageable and actionable steps, allowing for better organization, delegation, and progress tracking.

The simple structure of issue templates allows you to create up to two levels in the hierarchy.

Here, you can start with a task, story, or bug - all issue types except epic, as a parent template. Then, create subtemplates. In the dropdown, we only have the Parent project option to choose from, as subtasks cannot exist as separate, detached issues – they must always have a parent from the current project.

Apply only the issue type you choose on the create issue view, and subtasks are automatically added under the parent issue.

To create a whole epic hierarchy, go to .

Define all fields as usual, and go to the child templates to create subtasks.

Create as many subtasks as you need. Define summary and extra fields. Remember that the summary field is required in Jira, and so is here. Save the template as a subtemplate and enjoy the creation of subtasks automatically.

Take care of your team and divide large tasks into several smaller subtasks so that you can manage the process and not miss anything.

The subtasks creation order can be changed with drag and drop on the left.

The result 🎉

You've just created a task with subtasks—but only with a few clicks. The subtasks loaded automatically under the parent issue.
