Creating New Issues

There are two ways to create new Jira issues from within Structure: using the Add menu and using Right Click.

Creating an Issue from the Add Menu

1. Select an item in the structure. The new issue will be added:

   • Directly below the selected item

   • On the same hierarchy level as the selected item

2. Open the Add menu and select Issue.

Creating an Issue with Right Click

1. Right-click any item in the structure

2. Select whether you want to place the new item above or below the current item (on the same hierarchy level), or add it as a sub-item
