Jira peculiarity: there is “convert to sub-task” for a Story, but no “convert to task”. TL;DR: use “move” for that

Depending on the issue type, a workflow might be different.
Since for Software projects, the default workflow Story might not be appropriate during the workflow, it makes sense to convert it.
For issue types other than sub-task, the dropdown only has one conversion entry: “convert to sub-task” (a sub-task has only “Convert to Issue”).
In order to convert to other issue types, use the “Move” option. There in the first step, you can change the issue type.
