Create work items

Work items are the building blocks of any project. Think of them as packets of work that travel through workflows in a project until they’re completed.

Business projects have different types of work items, including epics, tasks, and subtasks. A work item can also have child work items, which are assigned and tracked separately.

はじめる前に

You need the Create work item project permission for the work item’s relevant project. The type of work items you can create will depend on the work types your admin has enabled for your project.

作業項目を作成する

To create a work item anywhere in Jira:

1. [作成] を選択します。

2. Add a Summary for the work item.

3. すべての必須フィールドと必要なその他のフィールドを入力します。

   1. Optional: To change which fields appear when you create a work item, select Actions (•••), then Configure fields. Select Custom fields from the dropdown menu, then choose the fields you want. This will update the fields in the work item you’re currently creating as well any future work items created.

   2. Optional: To create other work items with the same Project and Work type, select the Create another work item checkbox. Depending on your configuration and work item creation history, some fields may be pre-populated. Review these before creating the new work item.

4. 完了したら [作成] をクリックします。 

Clone a work item

Clone a work item to quickly create a duplicate of it in the same project. The cloned work item contains most of the same details stored in the original work item, like the summary, affected versions, and components. Some details aren't cloned, like time logged, comments, history, and links to Confluence pages. The work item status also returns to the first step of the corresponding workflow, and the resolutions are cleared. The cloned work item can be linked to the original work item, but doesn't have to be.

To clone a work item:

1. Open the work item.

2. [その他のアクション] (•••)、[複製] の順に選択します。

3. If you want to, edit the cloned work item’s Summary.

4. If applicable to the work item you're cloning, you can also select:

   • 添付ファイル - 既存の添付ファイルをコピー

   • サブタスク - 既存のサブタスクをコピー

   • Links to copy any existing linked work items

   • Clone sprint value(s) (スプリント値を複製) (現在のスプリント値とクローズされたスプリント値を含む)

5. [クローン] を選択します。

Create child work items

In business projects, we use “child” and “parent” to describe related work items. If you have a task with a related subtask, that task would be considered a parent work item while the subtask would be a child work item. Similarly, a task could be a child work item of an epic.

To create a child work item:

1. Open the work item you’d like to be the parent work item.

2. Select Add a child work item () under the summary of the work item. If you are in a company-managed project and want to create a subtask, select Create subtask ().

3. Add a summary for the work item and select Create.

Create child work items suggested by AI

Use Atlassian Intelligence to generate a list of suggested child work items, based on the details of the parent work item.

When you accept a suggestion, a new child work item will be created and linked to the parent work item.

1. Open the parent work item.

2. Select Add a child work item under the summary. If you are in a company-managed project and want to create a subtask, select Create subtask.

3. Select Suggest work items.

We’ll then create a list of suggested child work items which you can accept, edit, or decline.

Change the parent work item of a child work item

To change the parent work item of a child work item:

1. Open the child work item.

2. Select the work type icon in the top-left corner next to the key of the parent work item.

3. Select a new parent work item for your child work item.

In the timeline and list views, you can also change the parent work item of a work item by dragging and dropping it underneath a new parent work item.

Define the work type

Change the work type in the work item

After you create a work item, you may want to change its type to better represent the work that needs to be done. For example, you may want to turn a work item that was raised as a task into a bug.

To change the work type:

1. Open the work item you're working with.

2. Select the current work type icon, which is shown next to the work item key, above the summary.

3. Choose a new work type from the drop-down list.

If there are different fields in the new work type, or if it has a different workflow, we'll open an additional screen to help you complete the change.
