Create work item in your plan

This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise.

Your plan is a sandbox environment meaning that any changes you make won’t be committed back to your Jira work items until you choose to do so.

How do I save changes in my plan?

To add a new work item to your plan:

  1. Group work items in your plan by NoneAssigneeProjectTeamReleases, or Sprint.

  2. Either:

    1. navigate to +Create work item at the top of the Scope column or

    2. On your timeline, hover over the destination work item, select the  menu, and Choose Create [task type].

  3. Select the type of work item you want to create. If your plan contains more than one project, use the dropdown to select which project to assign the new work item.

  4. Name your new work item then use the checkmark to save.

You can't add work items to external sprints or projects not associated with your plan.

If you create a work item using the + Create work item button, your plan will place your new work item at the bottom of your current project. If you’ve made a child-level work item (such as a story or subtask), it will be listed under the collapsible x work items without parent heading at the bottom of your timeline until it’s linked to a parent task.

If you create a child work item using the , it will be nested underneath the parent ticket and inherit  sprintsreleases, or teams values, depending on how you’ve chosen to group your work items.
