If the status of the subtask is not an allowed status for the new issue type, then the Select New Status screen is displayed. Select a new status and click on the Next button.
In the next step, the Update Fields screen will be prompted to enter any additional fields if they are required. Otherwise, a message will display stating – 'All fields will be updated automatically'. Click on Next.
