Issue Types - Hierachy.

Simon Brandreth

Hi,

By default presented with Issue Types - EPIC - BUG - STORY - TASK.

If adding a new issue type for example INITIATIVE, how do I make this the top level issue type.

ie. INITIATIVES are made up of EPICS... EPICS are made up of STORYs... STORYs made up of TASKs.

Hi Simon!

If I understand you correctly, you want to set a custom issue type called "Initiative" as the highest level of issue in your instance.

To do this, you have to go here and add it:

<your-domain-name>.atlassian.net/jira/settings/issues/issue-hierarchy

Hit the "Create level", add the "initiative" issue type and arrange them at your own will.
Remember to click "Save Changes".

Also: Changes to the hierarchy configuration will only apply to plans in Advanced Roadmaps.

Many thanks for your response Gustav ! Much appreciated.

I'm trying to do the same thing, and create a 5 level hierarchy with a few new types, and t's letting me create the types, but it doesn't seem to be allowing me to establish the hierarchy I want? Thoughts? I want Project --> Stage --> Epic --> Story --> Task --> Sub Task, with Milestone and Deliverable as additional Sub Tasks...
