In a business project, wanting more than 2 levels of task hierarchy (such as main task, task, sub)

Jack Howard_ton4h6

I am creating a roll out plan for a product, I have chosen the business project type as this seems better than the dev and software types. My only problem is that I want more categorising in the tasks menu. There only seems to be two levels of hierarchy in the timeline - tasks & sub tasks. I want more than this.

 

I have tried using epics but this does not work, they are definitely better in software projects. 

 

Any ideas? Can I create a new task type at all, and configure the way it collapses and expands and holds tasks and sub tasks within it?

That is correct, Jira only has issue and sub-task (parent and child) layers in it (Jira Software treats Epics as a layer above issue)

You can't add more complexity to those levels without apps - Advanced Roadmaps and similar things add layers above Epic, but the only app that really lets you make it look like you've got other layers is Structure.
