The Create Subtask button was changed to Create a Child button, and now it isn't possible to create subtasks on issues above the Epic level.
For customers that don't want to use Epics, it is a problem, as they used to have a hierarchy level that excluded Epics.

Hi 21765e022a14 - Jira's issue hierarchy is designed to enforce the order in which work is broken down. As part of this, subtasks sit under L0 issue types. There was a bug previously where subtasks could be created under L1+ issue types. I can suggest a couple of things here:
Also, if the parent issue types already had subtasks prior to the change, the + button will still appear in the subtask panel further down the issue and subtasks can be created here
Also, if you want to change any existing issues to a different type, for example if you wanted to migrate existing subtasks to another L1 issue type, bulk edit is the fastest way to do this (this can be done from the backlog or via the "issues" view then three dot menu)
hope this helps!
