HierarchyLevel does not apply after setting AdvancedRoadmap Hierachy

Question

I have created a new Initiative issue type as described here and it look good, even if i wonder what the number in the first column means:

It seems to apply properly in Advanced Roadmap view:

But then I am checking the newly created Issue Typ via REST:

And the hierarchyLevel for the Initiative type is zero even If I expect it to be 2 (one higher than Epic). As A result I cannot create an Epic with an Initiative Ticket as a parent. This is a bit confusing.

Any Ideas ??

Thanks,

Florian

Thank you for your reply.

I changed the Issue type order as you mentioned, which affects the order of issue types in the REST service. I put Initiative on the top, followed by Epic.

But the hierarchyLevel remains the same: zero

other ideas?

Hi @Florian Bauer ,

try changing the order in the issue type scheme of the project as well.

Issue type scheme-> choose the scheme and edit it

Drag and drop the issue types in the order as necessary
