Equivalent to Azure Devops "Area Path" in Jira

[Martin Pendlebury]

My company is looking to transition to Jira from Azure Devops for work planning/sprints.

In Azure Devops I currently use the Area Path field to denote which business area a story was for.

e.g.

User Story - Password length check

Linked to feature - Password security

Tag - Added after sprint start (Bad practice I know!)

Area Path - Ecommerce business area

In Jira I can user the Epic (now called parent) link to link an issue to an epic and reproduce the same Story--Feature link, and I can use labels for tags, but I'm at a loss as to how to re-create the "Area path" categorisation.

Can you help? Thank you

Hi @Martin Pendlebury 

You have differents way to implement it

• a dedicated custom field
• using components
