      Problem Definition

      It would be great if the new business boards could show sub-tasks.

      Here is an example of the board:

      Suggested Solution

      Workaround

      -

            [JWMCLOUD-17] Business boards show sub-tasks.

            132d384871fb you're welcome!

            In a board with issues (Stories) which contain sub-tasks we can see and filter those that are assigned to any of the team members. In our case it's a Scrum (active Sprint) board and we have the issues grouped by sub-task.

            We don't have an option to only show sub-tasks without the story nesting.

            Thanks for your input 813ce28fd7f7 and the sample video. Say for example that I only have Sub-Tasks assigned to me and I filter with "Assigned to me", I don't see any issues at all and get the impression that I have nothing left to do. There must be an option somewhere, that I can visualise the Sub-Tasks without them being nested within a Task, right?

            132d384871fb this is already possible. The resolution of this issue is: fixed

            In the Jira Board you can now group by task. See:

            I'm missing this feature too, but this task is Closed. Am I to understand that no implementation will be forthcoming? That would be a great shame, because we really need this feature.

            It is almost incomprehensible to me that the board view doesn't support viewing sub-tasks in any sensible way.

             

            It is the best view for quickly assessing the state of your overall portfolio of work, but it just doesn't show half of my team's work because the top-level task is owned by someone else.

            Very important to have this in place

            Here are the docs 30110a8569a1 - https://support.atlassian.com/jira-work-management/docs/create-and-edit-issues-and-subtasks-on-the-board/#View-subtasks-on-your-board

            You will also need to make sure you have the subtasks field visible on the board, you can enable this on the top right of the board under More -> Customize cards -> Subtasks - I will ask our content team to update the docs to include this

            Harry we use the 'Group By' filter on the board - select Sub task... its not ideal because it moves issues that have sub tasks to their own section at the top but at least you get visibility.

            Hi Heather,

            We use Jira Cloud and I am not able to see how to allow sub-tasks to appear on a board. I can't find any documentation either. Can you provide a link please? 

            Thanks,

            Harry

            This feature has now been released to everyone! 🎉

            I can see there are a few comments around how we have decided to implement subtasks, I think the best thing to do here would be to raise a new suggestion in this project

            For other points, please use the feedback button in the product, or you can also raise a suggestion/bug here, as this ticket is now closed and I don't want us to miss your feedback
