JIRA - Create a Subtask
An issue can be completed by performing many tasks with different persons like Dev, QA, UAT, Business, Support, etc. To track the progress in each department, sub-tasks are created in an issue and assigned to the concern person. Once all the sub-tasks are resolved, the issue can be marked as completed.

All subtasks are an essential part of their parent issue.
All subtasks are visible on the main screen of the parent issue.
Subtasks always belong to the same project as their parent issue.
Subtask has all fields that are present in the standard issue.
Subtasks cannot have a subtask of their own.
