We have a few issue types: Epic, Story, sub-task, Technical Requirement, Development Task, etc.

By default Hierarchy level is

Hierarchy: Epic to Story
Hierarchy: Epic to sub-task

Can I add

Hierarchy: Epic to Technical Requirement
Hierarchy: Epic to Development Task

Thanks,

Jenny

Hi @Jenny Chen ,

Since you already have Epic to Story hierarchy, you will automatically have "Epic to Technical Requirement" and "Epic to Development Task" if these are standard issue types.

If you add any standard issue type in hierarchy, it automatically adds all other standard issue types at same level.

Thanks,

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

Screenshot jira Hierarchy level.png

If I selected Epic as top level, the options for Dev-task and Technical-req cannot be selected ( grey items). Below is the Hierarchy Configuration: I have added the first two rows as attached screenshot: Dev-task <-Development Task and Technical-req <-Technical Requirement. The last three rows were already present as default options. However, I do not have the ability to select 'Epic' when adding new Hierarchy levels. Do I miss anything?

Hi @Jenny Chen ,

You can display hierarchy only from top to bottom levels. Since you have configured "Technical Requirement" and "Development Task" issue types to be above Epic level in your config, you will not be able to filter from Epics to Technical Requirements.

Level above Epics commonly get called things like Initiatives or Legends – though it’s entirely up to you. To add issue types above epics to your plan, you’ll first need to create a new issue type in Jira Software.

Thanks,
Aditya
