Description Ken Collins CLA 2007-11-08 11:40:31 EST 
When creating a Jira subtask, I find that I use values from the parent for "Affects Version", "Fix Version", and "Components". Subtasks would be easier to create if these values were populated from the parent.

I noticed that the Jira Mylyn interface differs from the Jira web UI for these values. I can select multiple values in the web UI, but the Mylyn GUI is limited to a single selection from a drop down. This may impact the implementation.

Ken, thanks for the suggestions. I noticed that the Web UI does not automatically populate these fields when creating subtasks but selecting them by default in the Mylyn UI seems like a good.

There is an open bug for providing multi-selection in the new task editor:

190857: Fix and Affects combo should be lists in new task editor

Please consider voting there if you require that feature.

This has been implemented as bug 211387. Pre-selecting multiple Affects/Fix versions during subtask creation will work when bug 190857 is resolved.
