Hi @DJ
as @Akash Kumar Gupta suggested, the best way to add additional hierarchy levels is via Jira's issue hierarchy configuration as described here.
The only disadvantage is that, for the time being, additional hierarchy levels are only really well visible in Advanced Roadmaps, which is part of Jira Premium. (I'm saying 'for the time being', as AFAIK, this will improve over time and become more integrated with the rest of Jira.)
If Jira Premium is not an option for you, there's various options from the Atlassian Marketplace to show additional hierarchy levels. E.g., this is how additional hierarchy levels look in the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira:
(For context, JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting. Issue hierarchies can be created based on built-in parent child relationships (including the ones you configure as described above), as well as issue links.)
Any questions just let me know,
Best,
Hannes
Hi @DJ
You will need Advanced roadmaps for this. Another option would be to issue links to create your own hierarchy and an app would be required to view the same. If you are open for mktplace solution you can try our add-on.
In the example below I have created an Issue type "Initiative" and i have associated it with an Epic using Issue link.
The app is free upto 10 users. Do try it out.
