How can I use Initiative issue type in my Plan?

[Eugenia Peralta]

In a Company managed project, I created a Plan, and add Initiative as the highest issue type in the hierarchy, but seems that I have done something wrong because I cannot use it. When I go to the Plan and try to create an Initiative, the issue type is not enabled.

I have followed the steps on the JIRA support page to configure the issue type and the hierarchy in the Advanced Roadmap.

Could you help me, please? Thanks!!

Hi Nir,

Welcome to the community!

To clarify, are you using Jira Server or Cloud?

Hello,

Do you want to see this hierarchical structure in the backlog? If so, then it is not possible. But you could see such view in sprints. You have to make test issues as sub-task issues of your user stories. Then you should go to the board settings -> swimlanes and choose Stories. You can find more info about swimlanes here:
