Turn a subtask to task and add an parent to it

Open qiuxiaomu opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

In Jira we can manually turn a subtask to a task, effectively removing it from its parent jira; we can then add an epic to it (or another parent if we like).

Is there a way to do this in jira-cli? Or there's a simpler workflow for this type of errand?

Oh and thanks very much for such a life changing tool, back in the corporate days I always wanted a tool like this!

There is a --parent flag available in edit command. Not tested but I guess that might work to assign a new parent. There isn't a way to turn subtask to a task atm tho.

It would be awesome if someone could add the convert to subtask feature! It's one of the most annoying things to do in the Jira UI 🙂

The Jira API does not seem to support this feature. Unless this is the case, this ticket here is blocked. It would help if everyone interested in this feature clicks on the "Vote for this issue" link on the following page https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-27893.
