Hi

I want to create a issue type called "Feature". 

The hierarchy would be: 

1. Epic, 2. Feature, 3. User story, 4. Task, 5. Bug

 

Is it possible to change the standard child issue on my self made issue type "Feature" from "Sub-task" to "User story", as I like to work with projects that have multiple features instead of having many epics. 

 

Can this be done?

Thank you in advance

 

Best regards

Filip

Hi @fg and welcome to the Community!

That is currently not possible. Jira's standard issue hierarchy is Epic > Story (or other standard issue types) > sub-task.

On a premium plan, you can add additional levels above epic, but you can't insert issue types in between epics and other issue types.

Atlassian is currently working on new parent-child capabilities and flexible naming of Epics, which is supposed to bring this flexibility. You can follow the status of that work on the public roadmap - currently, this is expected for Q4 2023.

Hope this helps!
