View and edit an issue's details on your board

View subtasks on your board
If your issue has a subtask, it will be nested below its respective parent item regardless of its status.
Currently, the board does not support filtering by subtask. You can only view subtasks that are nested under their parent.
To view (or hide) an item’s subtasks, select the expand or collapse icon inside the board card.
