In the Azure DevOps Json editor, on the header bar, you can click on "Tree" or "Text". Go to the Text mode and you can copy and paste values, to add tasks to the template.

You can setup parent fields in the sub tasks. By this way, when the system will generate the sub-tasks, you will be able to use "parent task" variables, like the original title, ID, url ... In the value field, as in the sample, when you specify a field, it will be the parent's value.
