Create a Sub-Task on Grid View Execution Screen
In addition to linking sub-tasks and sub-defects, users can also create sub-tasks or sub-defects directly from the test execution screen at the test case or step level, enhancing efficiency and streamlining the workflow.
For example, the product team wants to use sub-tasks or sub-defects to track internal development, testing, and related tasks on stories or bugs logged from the Execution screen. It helps the team improve traceability, work distribution, and progress monitoring.
Prerequisite:
The Sub-task work type should have been added to the Work Type Scheme of the space.
The Sub-task work type should be enabled in QMetry Space Settings > Work Type > Bug.
Perform the following steps to create a sub-task:
Click the Create button and select the Create Sub-Task option.
The Create Sub-Task screen appears.
Enter the following field details:
Parent Work: Select the parent work from the drop-down list, as the sub-tasks and sub-defects are always associated with a parent work type/key and can not be created independently, like other work types. The sub-tasks are linked to the selected story and displayed in the Subtasks section on that story detail page in Jira.
Sub-Task Work Type: Select the sub-task work type from the drop-down list.
Note
The Sub-Task Work Type will be listed only if enabled from the QMetry Space Settings > Work Type > Bug screen.
Once you select the Sub-Task, the fields show up on the screen.
Enter the details in the fields and click Create.
The sub-task is created in the Bug tab on the execution screen.
The sub-tasks are linked to the selected story and displayed in the Subtasks section on that story detail page in Jira.
