Add support for subtasks/parent tasks
Especially since JIRA 4.0 is going to support them for all editions! Will have to check JIRA 4.0 SOAP API or add to Worklog Assistant server side plugin

Inappropriate?we're still on 3.x, but will eventually go to 4.0. What will this look like? Can we create a new subtask when we submit work against a ticket, or assign the work to an existing subtask? -
Inappropriate?Can you elaborate on why you find that behaviour useful?
-
Inappropriate?Those are the two things we're likely to do (obviously this is dependent on our workflow).
Our development work is all done in subtasks and sometimes it would be reasonable to create a different subtask rather than work on the assigned one. For instance, if one has to work on the database and the web app to fix an issue, those are two subtasks. It would be useful to be able to create the subtasks from WLA.
Another case would be when we're assigning issues to sprints. We move the tasks to "Sprint Backlog" and create a subtask for doing the work. That could be done in WLA. -
Inappropriate?So when you say "it would be useful to create the subtasks from WLA", do you mean you'd like to be able to create a subtask for an existing task by (say):
* Right-click issue in ilist
* Select "Add sub-task"
* Have WLA launch the browser as is done for the "Add issue" action
If so, I think this would fit within the scope pretty well. -
Inappropriate?yes, that seems like the best approach. Same set of issues (specific info, etc) that made the "Add Issue" launch the correct choice...

Inappropriate?Hi,
I'm evaluating WLA and testing green hooper, typically a user story has many sub-task, and WLA is not showing these sub-tasks to log the work done. It is showing only the user story.
Are you planning to add support to log work on sub-tasks in a near future? It is pretty critical for us. -
Inappropriate?Hi Gerardo, sub-tasks are planned but no time frame yet.
