Missing create sub-task icon in view screen

[Aleksandra Kalischek]

Is it possible to see (+) icon for creating sub-task in view screen? (Jira Server 7.11.2)
In normal case, it will be displayed if first sub-task created. (via Menu - create sub-taks)
Some people in my company would like to see it before. :(

Thx

You can get Jira Server to show the sub-task header (including the +) with a minor tweak - just add a line in the properties file in the jira home directory and restart Jira.  Mine usually reads as below:

root@zen:/opt/home-jira# cat jira-config.properties

jira.websudo.is.disabled = true
jira.view.issue.show.quicksubtask.when.no.subtasks=true

Hello @Aleksandra Kalischek 

Currently it's not possible to have the plus icon if there are no existing sub-tasks for the issue. I am not exactly aware of the customization in the Jira code which might need to be done for this feature to be available.

I have found an open ticket, something similar to what you require for your users, but it's an open ticket and still unresolved.
