Hierarchy Renaming not Propagating

[eric_mcdougall]

Our organization recently renamed two of our hierarchies from Strategy to Initiative and from Initiative to Deliverable.  These new names are properly reflected on the Gantt view when a user hovers their mouse over the icons.

However, the new names are not being reflected correctly in other locations - specifically Filters and Create New.

Has anyone else seen this?  How did you address it?

Hi @eric_mcdougall and welcome to the Community!

It seems from your first screenshot that you have renamed two of your Jira issue types. In advanced roadmaps, these issue types are mapped to levels in your hierarchy structure which have their own naming. That allows you to map multiple issue types to the same level in the structure.

In the Advanced Roadmaps UI you do not see the names of the issue types, but the corresponding hierarchy level names in the structure. If you want to update those as well, you can do so (be aware that you are then doing so for all plans in your entire Jira instance).

You can find the settings (as a Jira Administrator) under Jira Settings > Issues > Issue Type Hierarchy.

Hope this helps!
