Splitting an issue

Sometimes an issue may require so much work that it’d be better to split it into several issues. You can split issues in your Kanban or Scrum backlog view. You can choose into how many issues you want to split the original issue. You can edit the summary of the new issues too. If the issue is estimated or added to a sprint, these details can also be updated.

When you split the issue, not all fields are copied across:

To split an issue:

1. Navigate to the issue you want to convert in your Kanban or Scrum backlog.
2. Right-click the issue in the backlog and select Split issue.
3. Make any adjustments required. You can also add additional issues here by selecting + Add another.
4. Select Split.

Once you've split your issue, the relation between the issues is maintained using issue links with the type split to and split from.
