Hey folks, I’m struggling with Jira and could use some help. I’ve got a subtask that’s currently part of one user story, but I need to move it to a different one. Is there a way to do this in Jira? I’ve been clicking around but can’t seem to find the right option. It feels like there should be an easy way to drag and drop or something, but I’m not seeing it. Has anyone done this before? I’d really appreciate any tips or step-by-step instructions on how to transfer a subtask from one story to another. Thanks in advance for any advice!
I’ve encountered this situation before, and there’s a straightforward solution. Navigate to the subtask in question and open it. Look for the ‘More’ menu (typically three dots) in the top-right corner. Click on it and select ‘Move’. This will open a dialog where you can search for and select the new parent story. Once you’ve chosen the correct story, confirm the move. The subtask will then be transferred to the new user story. Just ensure you have the necessary permissions to move issues in your Jira instance. If you’re still having trouble, it might be worth checking with your Jira admin about any specific configurations that could be affecting this function.

Hey Stella, I’ve been in your shoes before! Moving subtasks between stories in Jira can be a bit tricky at first. Here’s what worked for me:
Open up the subtask you want to move. Look for the ‘More’ menu (it’s usually three dots) in the top right corner. Click that, then choose ‘Move’. You’ll see a dialog box pop up where you can search for the new story you want to move the subtask to.
Just type in the name or ID of the story you’re looking for, pick it from the list that shows up, and hit confirm. Voila! Your subtask should now be under the new story.
One thing to watch out for—sometimes your Jira setup might have restrictions on moving issues. If you can’t see the ‘Move’ option or it’s grayed out, you might need to speak with your Jira admin to ensure you have the proper permissions.
Hope this helps you out! Let me know if you run into any snags along the way.
