Set existing issue as child to another existing issue

[Gentjana Lalaj]

There were a number of issues that are all part of a bigger issue. However, I created several of them as independent issues, instead of adding them as children of the main issue.

Is there a way to add them as child issues of the main issue?

Obviously, I can close them and re-create them as child issues, but I would rather not do that.

Gentjana,

just use the convert to subtask option and select the parent issue as the parent of all 

[Gentjana Lalaj]

The only options available are 'Add flag', 'Add to Epic', 'Move' and 'Clone'.

Can you tell me which issue types do you have in your project?

[Gentjana Lalaj]

This is the list of types : Bug, Candidate, Critic, Epic, Feature, Investgation, Story, Task.

They fall under the Standard Issue Type category

You need to add a subtask issue type to the issue type scheme of that project to be able to create subtasks!

I want it to be a child.... not a subtask.
