How to setup up a Feature/Theme to assign Epics

Question

Is an Epic the highest level? We would like to organize our Epics into Features or Themes (without having to pay for a 'plug-in')

Thanks --

When I create the Feature/Theme Issue type, it will only let me link to a single Epic -which is kind of crazy --

What I am looking for is the standard agile hierarchy --

Feature -> Epic -> Story -> Task

I can set up an Epic with 1-many Stories --

I can set up a Story with 1 -many Sub-Tasks (tasks no can do)

But I can only have a single Epic link to a Feature

I started looking at Components -- which really is not an ideal solution, at least was able to group the Epics that way.

I also noted that time estimates did not roll up past a story to the Epic level -

Do I have to create a link for the Feature - Epic - Story - Task relationship at each level? I would like to keep that relationship intake without manually having to set the links (as you know, the more manual the more apt to error)

Thanks

Please just descibe your desired hierarchy. The "Epic Link" field only allows a One-Many relationship to be maintained.
