Overview
The Task Master add-on for JIRA provides an easy way for you to break an issue into sub-tasks quickly. You can make as many sub-tasks for an issue as you need.
Requirements
- Sub-tasks must be enabled in JIRA
- "Summary" must be the only required field in sub-tasks
- The project must have a sub-task issue type available
How to use it
To break your issue into sub-tasks with the Task Master:
 | Open the issue you want to break into sub-tasks. Click on "More Actions", and then select "Create Sub-Tasks". |
 | Enter the sub-tasks you want to create for the issue. Press the Enter key to move to the next sub-task or click the "X" to remove a sub-task. Click "Submit" to finish. |
 | If the sub-tasks were created successfully, the success message will appear. Click "Refresh" to reload the issue so your new sub-tasks appear. |
 | The sub-tasks have been created and you can now manage them just like other JIRA features. |
Keyboard shortcuts
The Task Master add-on provides several keyboard shortcuts you can use to navigate sub-tasks as you create them.
| enter | Inserts a new sub-task immediately below the current sub-task |
|---|---|
| shift-enter | Inserts a new sub-task immediately above the current sub-task |
| ctrl-enter | Selects the empty sub-task at the end of the list |
| ctrl-d | Deletes the current sub-task if it is not the last in the list; otherwise, clears the current sub-task |
| up-arrow | Selects the sub-task on the line above |
| down-arrow | Selects the sub-task on the line below |
