In Jira, you do this in the following way:
Create an issue, just as you always did.
Then do one of the following::
Create another issue, and link it to the other issue, choosing "is depended upon by". Alternatively, you can link a dependent issue from the other issue and choose "depends upon". You'll also note that there are pairs of choices as the link is bi-directional. We have three pairs: depends, duplicates and similarity.
or
On that parent issue create a sub-task.
Linking and subbing are on the More dropdown.

The two differ in the following ways:
A linked issue can be linked to any number. This is useful when something like usfm2osis.py or osis2mod has an issue that prevents a module from being rebuilt. And you want to link that issue to several module issues. You can link between Jira Projects, e.g. MODTOOLS and MOD. 
A sub-task is a break-down of a larger task and belongs to that task. A sub-task belongs to just one task. I'm not sure that a sub-task can have sub-tasks. I don't think so. You can convert a task to a sub-task at a later time. Sub-tasks cannot go between Jira Projects. I don't know if you can make a sub-task a top-level task.

I suggest using links.

There are some odd issue types that are taken from SCRUM, Agile Development: Epic, Story. Where Epic is appropriate for a task that is too big to be done all at once and begs to be broken down further.
