Can't create sub-task

Tyler Myalls October 10, 2025

Anyone else having this issue?

Trying to create a sub-task but get no error and sub-task doesn't display, yet the sub-task completion % is showing. 

Asked some co-workers and they have the same issue - which leads me to believe the issue is on the Atlassian side.

Hello @Tyler Myalls 

In our environment the Sub-Tasks work fine so there must be another reason why this isn't working.

Looking at your screenshot, there seems to be no sub-tasks attached to the work item? If that is the case, then it won't show as 100% since there is nothing to track. 

Some things to check

  • Have you defined work item types as sub-tasks?
  • Are the sub-tasks part of the project work type scheme?
  • Have you attached and completed sub-tasks to a work item?

Can you post some full sized screenshots? We are unable to tell the complete status from the partial screenshots you have attached.

Cheers!

Paul

Yes, I've defined the work type items as sub-tasks and they are part of the project work type scheme. Screenshot 2025-10-14 095444.png
I'm confused by your last bullet as that's what I'm trying to do - attach a sub-task to a work item. 

What's odd is that this was working just fine and I have not changed any settings. I have many sub-tasks already attached to work items - I just can't seem to create new ones. :(

@Tyler Myalls

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I thought that the progress bar wasn't working for sub-tasks. 

Unfortunately, I currently have no input for what you are experiencing. Hopefully someone else can provide some more insights.
