Business projects: Integration third hierarchy to task and subtask possible -visually in timeline?

Wolfgang Wernig

Hello,

In the project templates (business project) there are basically 2 process types - task and subtask. These are also shown visually in the list and the timeline in a structured manner. The subtask is subordinate to the task.

My question:
Is it possible to add a 3rd level?
So that a structure consists of 3 levels.

As an an example:

Currently:
-Task
- subtask

New:
-Phase
- task
- subtask

The 1st level (phase) and the 2nd level (task) should be visually visible in the timeline.
The 3rd level should be like in the software project templates (srum).

I look forward to your feedback, thank you very much.

Hi Wolfgang,

You can try adding an Epic to the Issue Type Scheme. But the Epic will need to use the same workflow as the Task and Sub-task issue types to not break the Board. 

I have not tried that 3 deep with the Timeline so I hope it works for you!
