I recently read this article:  https://www.atlassian.com/agile/project-management/epics-stories-themes which indicates that an initiative is a collection of epics.  According to the article, Atlassian sets up initiatives as epics.  But when I attempt to create an epic within an epic, I get an error stating An epic cannot have another epic linked to it.  What am I missing?  Is this functionality added in a newer release?

Themes and initiatives are available in Portfolio for Jira, and that is what the article is referring to.

I have never seen a case where you can have an epic of epics. Maybe an addon provides this but again never seen this.
