Inline issue creation

[David Gan]

Why do I encounter two different types of inline sub-task issue creation. One that

1. simply creates the issue without prompting input of detail fields and
2. another one that has a window popup to input the details.

(1) does not work for me and has error "We couldn't create the subtask".

(2) works fine as there is a popup window to allow proper input

How do I configure my project to use only option (2) method?

Hi @David Gan and welcome to the community,

For better understanding: Could you please specify your requirement in more details?

• When does this happen?
• Where are you trying to create a sub-task (in which issue/in which screen)?
• Please also add screenshots for us to better analyze the problem.

Thank you Stefan!

For example, this is how normally test scenario sub-tasks are created in my environment. 

Once I typed in the Summary and click Create this popup Window appears and I can input the rest of the information and save.

But I have created another set of schemes with new sub-tasks which resulted in 

But this time the detail input popup window does not appear and the Jira is unable to create the sub-task with below error.

Hi @David Gan ,

Could you please show the whole issue?

Are those screenshot from the same issue within the same project? Which issue-types are the main/standard issues you want to create sub-tasks to?

Are there any screen schemes or required field associated? Or any validator in the workflow for the create transaction?

Hi @Stefan Salzl ,

Here is how the whole issue looks like. I have created an entirely new set of screen, workflow and issue type schemes and adopted the Light Weight Test Case Manager workflow from marketplace. I then associate these to a new project.

The Test Scenario is a sub-task that I should be creating under Story. There is no validator that I am aware of.

As there have been many different changes at once all of these things needs to be considered to recheck with your configuration before those changes.

• there could have been a validator in the workflow that was used before
• there could also be a change in the new screen scheme 
• Please also consider the following discussion I found via search in the community:

Hi @Stefan Salzl 

I have finally found the cause of the issue. It is due to create issue permission not given. But the Jira error could have been clearer.

Anyway much thanks for your assistance. Appreciate it.

Best regards,

David
