How can I add "Feature" above Epic in Hierarchy using Jira Cloud and Structure Cloud?

[Alex Hadden-Boyd]

I created an issue type called "Feature" and edited the "Epic" issue type to have a parent link.  I, as an adminstrator, am able to go into an Epic and assign it to a parent Feature, but other users are not able to do this in the Epic.

Hi Alex,

Do I understand correctly, that you are using one of the parent/child links like "relates to" or "blocks"? In that case, there is a special permission "Link issues", that is required for parent-child linking. Cloud Structure, however, cannot at the moment help linking issues as Server Structure can, this is one of the limitations that is eventually going to be overcome.

How did you set the Epic to "have a parent link"?

I added the Parent Link field to the Epic screen
