Adding and Editing Items
This page explains how to add new work items in the table using the Flexible Tablet app. You can select from the work types available in the project and create work at a specific position or level within the table. When creating work within a group, related field values are prefilled automatically, and the creation flow varies depending on the required fields.
Add item
Login to your Jira Cloud site.
Select the project you want to manage with the Flexible Tablet app, following the instructions in the Getting Started guide.
The table view in Flexible Tablet will appear.
At the top of the table, click Add item to create a new work item.
Find work types: Start typing to search for the work type you want to add.
CHOOSE WORK TYPE: The list includes all work types defined for the project. Common examples include Initiative, Epic, Risk, Task, Story, and Bug. Additional custom work types may appear depending on your project configuration.
Select a Work Type, then add a work item in the Create dialog.
Check that the work item has been added to the table.

Add work item
You can also add work items directly from the table. When you hover over the table, a purple + icon appears. Click the Add work item option to open the Create screen, where you can enter the work details. Once the work is created, the new item will appear under the corresponding Epic.
Add sub-task
You can also add sub-tasks directly from the table. When you hover over a row that supports sub-tasks (for example, an Epic), a purple + icon with the Add sub-task option appears. Click it to create a sub-task for the selected item directly from the table.

Inline editing
You can update key fields such as Summary, Status, and Assignee directly in the table view without opening the work item. Simply click a column to edit its value, change the status, or update the assignee.
You can also click other columns in the table view to check whether they support inline editing.
