How can one create a hierarchy of EpicFeatureStoryTaskSub-Task?

Question

I want to create hierarchy of Epic>Feature>Story>Task>Sub-Task but JIRA takes feature, story and task at the same level. For large project, I am trying to break down into buckets and then create user stories under that with tasks and sub-tasks. Any recommendations?

To do this, you'll need to set up the hierarchy globally.  This requires you to be using Advanced Roadmaps (premium subscription).

Also, it won't support your hierarchy as described, as you've got too many layers at the story level.

* From the bottom up, Jira does* Sub-task (part of an issue)
* Issue (which are Stories or Tasks, and the primary tracking object, living in projects)
* Epics (These are the first layer of items that can spam projects   You can rename if you want)

* Advannced Roadmaps allows for further over-layers, typically we see* Feature (or Epic if you rename the Epics)
* Initiative
* Theme
