      Issue Summary

      When a user creates a sub-task, it is expected to inherit the parent issues components however since JIRA 7.1.X this stopped being so.

      Steps to replicate

      1. Craete a test project.
      2. Create components for this project.
      3. Add the component field to the view/edit screen.
      4. Create an issue in the test project.
      5. Assign components to this issue.
      6. Create a sub task for the issue using More > Create Sub-Task

      Expected Result

      JIRA would create the sub-task and it would inherit the components of it's parent issue.

      Actual Result

      JIRA creates the sub-task but clears out the component field.

      Issue has been verified to have started in JIRA 7.1.X

            [JRACLOUD-60414] Sub Task Stopped inheriting Parent components

            Please put this back in. Adding the fix version and managing it for each subtask is PAINFUL, and gives teams the impression that subtask work can be released independently of other work.  Can this at least be an option??

            What does 'short-term backlock' means if there has not been a fix for over 1,5 years? I am very afraid for the issues that are on the long-term backlog.

            Any update on when this is going to be fixed?

            How about epics, should issues within epic link also inherit components??

            Hi adam.hadamek,

            Not yet, it is in our short-term backlog so we will update it as soon as we are able to pick it up for a developer to work on it.
