Quick summary
Changing the subtask parent in Jira lets you reassign a subtask to a different parent ticket directly from the issue's detail panel. This is useful when work is restructured and a subtask needs to be moved under a new parent story or task.
Steps
- In your Jira project, find and select the ticket that contains the subtask you want to edit.
- From the list under the Subtasks section, select the specific subtask you want to reassign.
- In the right-hand panel, click the input field next to 'Parent'.
- Choose the new parent ticket you want to set for the subtask.
- Confirm the selection — the subtask parent in your Jira space will be updated accordingly.
