Hi, inside an EPIC, is it possible transform a PBI into a SBI?

[Victor Crespo]

I have an Epic with several PBIs, and I would like to transform them into SBIs.

Hi Victor, if you want to transform only one issue PBI select More -> Convert to subtask

Great. Thanks Szabolcs.

Hi @Victor Crespo could you please describe what you mean by PBI's and SBI's are these custom issue types?

[Victor Crespo]

Ok, sorry, I thought they were standard or predefined types.
I will try to explain. Within the JIRA project I am working on, I can create issues that can be SSAR, EPIC, PBI or Defect. But in addition, for an EPIC I can create subtasks (SBIs).
What I want is to transform a set of issues of type PBI into subtasks (SBIs) of an EPIC.

Hi @Victor Crespo

You may want to try out the Move and Organize for Jira app that provides a dynamic view of your Jira projects in a tree hierarchy. From there you can click to multi-select a whole set of issues under a specific parent and just drag it to a new parent location at a different hierarchy level (i e convert your Subtasks to Stories/Tasks or vice versa).

It allows you to visually overview and also edit on-the-fly (create, edit, recursively move, delete et c) issues. Zoom and pan the tree view quickly and smoothly using keyboard shortcuts and mouse drag-n-drop support that enable you to work very efficiently also with larger projects!

Finally, it does not require any customization of your existing Jira projects - it plugs in directly for your users without making any non-standard customizations to the project or its issues.

Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or would like to provide suggestions!

With best regards,

Erik
