I have added a new issue type called Project in hierarchy at the same level as EPIC but in the epic link, I don't see the project issues instead I see them in the Parent link field. 

So I cannot make any hierarchy changes with the epic link field?? if so, What is the alternative approach to add an issuetype same as epic level
