Can I nest a child issue within a child issue?

[ralvez]

Dear team:

I have a hierarchy of activities that I need to work on.

I would like to map them within Jira, for which it would be great to nest a child issue to child issue, ie a "grandson" of the parent task. 

So the main task´s issue #1 would be completed once issue #1´s child issues are completed.

I do not see it feasible to nest issues with the standard setup. ¿ Is there any way to get it done with some complementary module?

Any hints will be greatly appreciated

Best regards 

Rogelio

Hi @ralvez welcome to the community.
Epics -> Stories -> Sub-Tasks would give you that structure.  Am I missing something in your description of requirements?

Hello Craig: Thanks a lot!

I will give it a shot, see if this setup fulfills my intention, and get back to you as soon as possible.

Hello Craig:

According to a Youtube video I have just been reviewing, "Epic" should be one type of issue when I want to create an issue:

However in my current setup I can only create the "Task" issue type. ¿ is there any global setting I need to modify in order to have "Epic" in the drop down menu?

Hi @ralvez have a look at this page.

More specifically this page

Found it! A property of the project! 

I already added Epic as a new issue type. I will play a bit and see how this can provide me a hierarchical approach to the distribution of my taks.

Thanks! I will get back to you with news as soon as possible.
