How to convert JIRA story into sub-task or defect?

Many times we entangled in the situation where we have made a story in JIRA but later on realised that it should have to be defect or in other case, sub-task of another story.


Story → Sub-task

So the workaround for converting the story into defect is given below:

  1. Open your story
  2. Click on more option
  3. Click on the Convert to sub-task option in the dropdown
  4. You would be asked to choose Parent story, so chose relevant story
  5. After submit, your story gets converted into sub-task

Story → Defect

Now if you want the story to be converted into defect, then you should first convert it into sub-task. Thereafter, you can convert that sub-task into defect as given below:

  1. Open the sub-task
  2. Click on more option
  3. Click on the Convert to issue option in the dropdown
  4. You would be asked to fill up relevant fields required for raising a defect, fill them up as required
  5. After submit, your sub-task gets converted into defect.
