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 with the purpose of enhancing efficiency and streamlining the workflow.

Use Case: 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 issue type should have been added to the Issue Type Scheme of the project.
The Sub-task issue type should be enabled in QMetry Project Settings > Issue Type > Bug.

Steps

1. Click on the Create button and select the Create Sub-Task option.

The Create Sub-Task screen opens.

2. Enter the following fields.

Parent Issue: Select the parent issue from the drop-down list as the sub-tasks and sub-defects are always associated with a parent issue type/key and can not be created independently like other issue types. The sub-tasks are linked to the selected story and displayed in the Subtasks section on that story details page in Jira.
Sub-Task Issue Type: Select the sub-task issue type from the drop-down list.

Note: The Sub-Task Issue Type will be listed only if it is enabled from the QMetry Project Settings > Issue Type > Bug screen.

Once you select the Sub-Task, the fields show up on the screen.

3. 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 details page in Jira.
