So that hits one of your questions – in Jira, a Story is a more specific version of a Task – they are both work requests and the Story was creating to help people who were tracking User Stories in Jira. Now, on to those subtasks.
I if a Story is too big, then it should become an Epic . The Epic type also exists in Jira. Side note on the difference between Jira Stories and Tasks: We have a rule of thumb in our project that everything that’s testeable, should be a Jira Story (due to the story workflow ).
There is no option there to create or convert subtask . To change a story to a task etc I just click on the icon next to the jira number and click change issue type. For sub task its disabled.
You may be asking “How do I move a task to a story in Jira?”
Open up the subtask that you want to move, and click on “More” in the buttons at the top, then “Move”. You can either change the issue type or change the parent. Choose “Change the parent” and click the button to continue.

What is a user story in Jira?
Since Jira is the most popular tool for agile software development, let’s look at how this works . User stories are a type of Issue in Jira. They can belong to a parent Epic (although they don’t have to, they can stand alone). There are other types of issues, like Tasks, Bugs, etc.
Can I clone a task in jira?
In JIRA, you can clone an issue (task) to create a copy of the useful parts of that issue. When you clone the issue, JIRA creates a new issue with the same summary (title) and description as the one you’ve cloned. It copies across the information from other relevant fields and sets the status of the new issue to “open”.
You can clone an issue to a different project with the help of Clone plus for Jira app. With this app, you can create clone operation and configure clone options, target project, issue type, copy comments, copy attachments, and more. Please refer to the below KB article on how to clone an issue to a different project.
One way to consider this is you can clone an Epic along it’s tasks and sub-tasks with our cloud app Deep Clone for Jira. After you’ve installed Deep Clone you simply: – Select the desired target project and clone. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have feedback or questions.
Keep in mind, the prefix Clone is automatically added to the Summary of a cloned issue. Your project admin can use Automation for Jira to remove the prefix in bulk. Learn more from our Community and see an example of the rule.

Why doesn’t Atlassian use a clone of an existing project?
A clone copies all the current data – that’s the point of cloning, not picking arbitrary bits out. Copying into another project requires thought – unless the target has exactly the same configuration as the target, you could need to amend or even delete data from the issue as it goes over. Because it is complex, Atlassian have not done it.
