About

The Quick Subtasks Plugin for JIRA allows you to write down a list of subtasks using a special syntax anywhere you want - e.g. a text editor or in your wiki and afterwards paste them in your Jira instance and create multiple subtasks for a given issue.

In addition one may define pre-set subtask-templates for each project in the administration area.

Features

The latest release contains the following features:

• Integration into Jira's issue operation menu
• Creating multiple subtasks for a selected issue
• Specifying the summary and the estimated time for each subtask using a special syntax
• Specifying the issue types for all subtasks to be created
• Permission checks to ensure a secure integration
• Manage multiple sub-task templates for each project in the administration area
• The security schema of the parent issue is applied to all subtasks created
• Subtasks inherit the priority from their parent issue

Examples

- Implementation
- Write unit tests / estimate:"3h"
- Write Acceptance tests / estimate:"6h"
-Code Review / assignee:"mkops"
- End user documentation / estimate:"4h" assignee:"mkops"

Pasting the text from above into the plugin would create the following subtasks for the selected issue:

• A subtask with summary "Implementation"
• A subtask with summary "Write unit test" and and time estimate of 3 hours
• A subtask with summary "Write Acceptance test" and and time estimate of 6 hours
• A subtask with summary "Code Review" -> the missing whitespace after the "-" is no problem here, the task will be assigned to the user "mkops"
• A subtask with summary "End user documentation" and and time estimate of 4 hours, assigned to the user "mkops"
