Welcome to the community!

Parent and child Jira issue is more like a hierarchy structure and relationship between the Jira issues.

Here is a basic example of the hierarchy structure:
Epic > Story > Sub-task

Issue Links are more flexible and establish relationships between issues that do not necessarily follow a hierarchical structure.

Thank you.

How should we ogranize the parent/child or issue links so that the tree view can also be useful?
