Possible to add or customize a 'feature' issuetype?

[Camilla Bækkelund]

I have formerly worked with Microsoft Teams Foundation Server (TFS) In this tool was an issuetype called 'Feature'. This issuetype does not exist in jira. 

How is it possible to add or customize this issuetype in jira?

Yes you can create a new issue Type and name it feature. However it will be the same as a task/story from a hierarchical perspective. It can have sub-tasks if desired.

Thx for your answer!

Is it possible to change the hierarchi of the new issue type? 

We need a hierarchy like this:  Epic -> Feature (the new issue type) -> User story -> Task

[Jack Brickey]

No. But you might consider Jira Premium which supports more hierarchy. 

in standard and free you get the following hierarchy:

epic > task/story > subtask

Hi @Camilla Bækkelund 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!

Yes you can create custom issue type as per your requirement. Like as a Feature.

For this You need to have Jira Administration Permission, just follow the path which john has suggested you to create custom issue.

Thanks,

Hi Camilla - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Go to Settings > Issues > Issue types and create a new issue type.
