Create issues

Create issues for a team, set properties, and link them to projects and cycles.

Create issues

Issues capture executable work on a team backlog.

Quick create

Open Issues for a team, a project, or My issues.

Press C or click New issue.

Enter a title (required).

Choose the team (pre-filled when opened from a team context).

Set Status, Assignee, Priority, and other properties as needed.

Optionally link a Project, Cycle, or Release.

Save. The issue appears on boards and lists for that team.

Create from a template

Open the issue composer.
Open the Template picker beside the team selector.
Choose a standard or form template.
Answer form questions if prompted; review pre-filled fields.
Create.

Direct template links open the composer with the template preselected. See Issue templates.

Create sub-issues

Break large issues apart:

Open a parent issue.
Add a sub-issue from the sub-issue section or composer.
Sub-issues inherit team context; track completion roll-up on the parent.

Sub-issue depth limits may apply when created from templates (see Templates).

C — new issue from most list pages
⌘K / Ctrl+K → New issue or New issue from template…

Can be moved to a team later when work becomes shared

A created issue should:

Appear on the team's issue list and board
Respect the team's workflow rules
Show in the project, cycle, or release you linked
