Creating issues

On the top panel in Tracker, click Create issue.

Tip
If you need to create a lot of similar issues, make a template for them.
Issue key
Each new issue is automatically assigned a unique key that identifies it. The issue key consists of the queue key and the issue number (for example, TEST-1234). The key is displayed under the issue's title on the issue page.
Here is what you can do with issue keys:
- Create links to other issues.
- Paste the queue key into an issue's description or comment body to put a link to another issue there. It will be converted into a clickable link.
- To directly access an issue at:
(https://tracker.yandex.com/TEST-1234).
Create a sub-issue
Complex tasks can be divided into simpler sub-issues and tracked separately.
To create a sub-issue:
-
Open the issue page to create a sub-issue for.
-
Choose Actions → Create sub-issue.
-
Fill in the fields the same way as when creating a new issue.
-
Click Create.
Share issue templates
You can share an issue template with a coworker before finalizing it. This could come in handy in some situations (e.g. quickly creating a batch of similar issues).
Follow these steps to share an issue template:
-
Set up issue details as described in Create an issue.
-
Click Get a link to a filled-out form at the bottom of the issue creation page.
-
Copy the link and send it to your coworker however you find convenient.
Clicking this link sends you to an issue creation window with its fields filled out. You can save the link and use it as a template for quick issue creation.
