Issue Heirarchy is not showing up accurately on the Advance Roadmaps

Hello 

I am in the middle of analyzing some capabilities in JIRA and Advance Roadmaps. 

I have a Project in which I have the Heirarchy set up as shown in Heirarchy_Issue (Image 1) 

It looks fine in the when I view it in via the EPIC. Meaning the Feature is configured as a child in the EPIC and the Story is also a child to the EPIC. 

All of these come up in the Advanced Roadmap - But there are issues.  Please see the second image. The POC project has features listed and also the EPIC. But the Features are not displaying fluidly under the EPIC like the Child relationship shows. And for some reason it place the EPIC under the category No parent associated. I don't want a parent reference. All I want is for the Roadmap to show proper hierarchy. Epic -> Feature -> Story - I am not able to fix this.

The reason it ends up below the rest is that the starting issue type is Feature. When an Epic don't have a Feature as parent, then they show up as an orphan. This is the same for any issue that do not have parent all the way up to the starting issue type.

You can change the starting issue type to Epic, and it will show up with all other epics and no longer be an orphan.

You can not place any issue type below the Epic since it is fixed as parent to the stories. You can rename Epics to feature, though, and then create a new Epic above it in the hierarchy.
