Can I customize default project template ?

Question

Hi,

I'm using to track my IT projects the default Jira templates :

Project templates > Work management > Project management

I'm mostly happy with that template however there is some issue that are really annoying me :

* I use a task to be as "a project container". In the board view, the sub-tasks are displayed within the task wich mean that you can't really say "this week I'm working on this specific sub-tasks".

* You can add the Epic type of ticket however the display on timeline view is strange: I can't display the tasks within the Epic ticket. In addition to that, Epics are visible in the board view (I can filter that)

So my question is : is it possible to customize the behavior and the display for Epics in Timeline view ?

If you have any idea about a way to work with this  Project management template without getting a headache, I'm interested as well !

Thank you John for your answer !

It looks like there was some progress last month and some feature should be available soon. I'll have a look then.

Cheers.

Hi William,

Right now there is not the ability to see the hierarchies in the Jira Work Management Timeline feature. You can vote for that change and follow it here:
