Managing Sub-Options
There can be many levels of sub-options bound to an Options Tree. It is best to describe the definition of sub-options by example.
Level 1 options can be created by the Create Option button. Each option you create with this button will be on the first level.
Any option may be restricted to a particular issue type or group.
For the sub-options, use the plus sign next to the relevant parent option that you are willing to create sub-options.
