How do I copy sub tasks from one story to another?

1) Create a story and create sub tasks under this story. Now use this story and its sub tasks as a template to create other stories. You can create a clone of this story and the sub tasks will also be cloned to the new story. You can then change the details of the cloned story.

In my case, as of 2022-02-10 on a customer Jira install, that might be heavily configured to not allow things, the "move" option mentioned in another answer was not available.

I had to convert the subtask to a normal task first, then I could chose to convert the normal task to a subtask again, where I could chose the story that it should be a subtask of from all stories. By chosing the new one then, it was "moved" from one to another with a little extra steps.
