In Settings-> Issues -> Issue Type Hierarchy
I currently have a hierarchy of:
- Programme
- Initiative
- Epics
- Story (and all other standard types)
- Sub Task
I want to add a second issue type at the same level at initiative:
- Programme
- Initiative, Milestone
- Epics
- Story (and all other standard types)
- Sub Task
I'm hoping I can use it (Milestone) on Advanced Roadmaps to show major milestones like Customer deadlines.
My concern is that when I try to add it to the hierarchy I get this message:
"Are you sure you want to change the hierarchy configuration?
Moving or changing hierarchy levels of issue types will break existing parent links in all company-managed projects in your site. This change can't be reversed."
I'm not inserting a new hierarchy level so I can't see an issue - but I also don't trust Jira not to just drop all the links between the Epics and Initiatives across the entire company...
Has anyone tried this?
