TRUST SIGNALS
Key highlights of the appPick which subtask types are allowed under each parent work item type — enforced at creation, not just hidden in the UI
Allowed subtask types per parent type
A simple per-project matrix: tick which subtask types are allowed under each parent work item type. Rows you leave untouched stay fully unrestricted — no accidental over-blocking
Blocked at creation, with a clear message
Enforcement is a Jira workflow validator on the Create transition — the issue view form and the REST API hit the same block, with a message naming both the subtask type and the parent type
Instant on/off that keeps your configuration
One switch attaches the validator to the project's workflow for you. Switching enforcement off keeps the saved matrix and leaves the rule inert, ready to re-enable at any time
More details
Every subtask type in your project can be created under every parent work item type — Jira has no built-in way to say "QA subtasks belong under Tasks, Design subtasks under Stories". SubRule adds exactly that, per project:
• A simple matrix: for each parent type, tick the subtask types that are allowed under it
• Rows you leave untouched stay unrestricted — no accidental over-blocking
• Enforcement is a Jira workflow validator on the Create transition: the same rule blocks the issue-view form and the REST API, with a clear message naming both types
• One Enabled switch: turn enforcement off without losing the saved matrix
• Team-managed projects are detected and shown a clear "not supported yet" notice
Setup requires a Jira administrator (the app attaches the validator to the project's workflow for you). Runs entirely on Atlassian Forge with no egress — your configuration never leaves your Jira site.
v1 covers creation only; type changes (Move/convert) are on the roadmap.
