In Jira, moving an issue from one issue type to another, such as from an Epic to a Sub-task, typically involves several steps. However, it’s important to note that not all Jira configurations allow direct conversion between all issue types. Below are general steps to move an Epic to a Sub-task:
- Navigate to the Epic:
- Log in to your Jira instance.
- Open the project that contains the Epic.
- Open the Epic:
- Locate the Epic you want to move.
- Open the Epic by clicking on its summary or name.
- Access the ‘More’ menu:
- In the top-right corner of the Epic view, you should see a menu labeled ‘More’ (three dots). Click on it.
- Select ‘Move’:
- From the ‘More’ menu, select the ‘Move’ option. This may be under a sub-menu like ‘Move to…’
- Choose the Sub-task issue type:
- You will be prompted to choose the issue type to which you want to move the Epic. In this case, select ‘Sub-task.’
- Fill in the details:
- Depending on your Jira configuration, you may need to provide additional information for the Sub-task. Fill in the required fields.
- Confirm the move:
- Review the details and confirm the move.
- Verify the result:
- Check the Epic and navigate to the Sub-task to ensure the move was successful.
It’s important to note that Jira configurations can vary, and your instance may have specific settings that affect the ability to move issues between certain types.
Additionally, make sure you have the necessary permissions to perform the move operation.
