Are these Azure DevOps features available or somehow achievable in JIRA?

Question

So I have been using Azure DevOps for the past couple of years and have now started using JIRA again. (I have used JIRA for several years prior to Azure DevOps). Having used Azure DevOps, I have a few questions and am wondering if the below features are available on JIRA. Haven't been able to figure them yet:

1. On Azure DevOps, I see all the test cases and subtasks on the board collapsed as icons which can be expanded. Is there a  feature like that on JIRA?

2. I've been playing with Advanced Roadmaps to create something similar to Azure DevOps delivery plans. I have created a plan. created shared teams but don't seem to be able to add them as a row or swimlane similar to how it gets displayed on delivery plans. I've found this very useful because you can create a board at feature level and each team's feature will be displayed with dependencies etc.

3. I know you can customise the hierarchies in advanced roadmaps. However, in all videos and posts I've seen, everyone is adding level above Epics. I personally don't find that useful. The best structure for this hierarchy to me is Epics > Feature > Stories > Tasks. Wondering if anyone knows a way to do that?

Thanks @Aron Gombas _Midori_  I have actually figured most of the above out since yesterday. Advanced Roadmaps supports items 2 and 3. I have managed to do it and it looks great.

2. I've done this by adding team to the fields on Advanced Roadmaps. I have also modified the view to group by team. this basically lists all the teams and under each team lists their corresponding epics, features, etc.

3. I have achieved this by creating a new scheme then I renamed Epics to features and added a new custom issue type and I called it Epic. Then on advanced roadmaps I've configured the hierarchy. So far so good. I now have this Epic > Feature > Story > task hierarchy.

Cheers

Replies:

* The cards themselves cannot be expanded, but there is a sidebar in the right that reveals most of the details of the issue displayed in the card. And these details include the list of sub-tasks, so what you want is available, although a bit differently (better?).
* If Advanced Roadmaps is not sufficient, give a try to the Structure app. This is a super-popular app to manage issue hierarchies, can be very handy in your use case, too.
* Same as 3. (Structure provides hierarchies of any depth.)
