Pulls in sub-tasks to issues already in the structure.

The Sub-task Extender pulls in sub-tasks to issues already in the structure. Sub-tasks will be placed beneath the current issues in the structure's hierarchy.

Structure with Sub-task Extender

To add issues from Next-Gen projects, use the Team-managed Project Hierarchy Extender. Due to technical differences in how items are linked, the Sub-task Extender only works for Classic projects.

Adding a Sub-task Extender

To add a Sub-task Extender,

open the Add menu and select Extend.

Add and extend generator

This will display the Extend generator options. Select Sub-tasks.

Configuring the Generator

Each Sub-task Extender can be customized to create exactly the hierarchy you need.

Sub-task Types

Allows you to specify which types of sub-task to add to your structure, based on your sub-task configuration in Jira. To include all sub-tasks, check the All available sub-task types box.

Extend Levels

Allows you to specify which levels in the hierarchy the extender should be applied to:

Levels are based on the placement of the generator, where "Level 1" is the level the generator is located on, "Level 2" is the level beneath that, and so on.
Sub-tasks will only be added for those issues within the selected range.

Place the generator on

If a level is grayed out, it means it is not possible to place the generator on that level.
