Three-layer nesting in Jira Work Management

[Adam Westerby]

Reposting as the original question is marked solved so not getting traction on my reply-- is there a timeline for adding the ability within Jira Work Management to nest three levels of the hierarchy within the list view (as described here)? Chase originally indicated this would be coming this September, and am hoping to get an update on the timeline before we spend too much effort on the workaround.

Essentially what we're looking for is the ability to create an Epic > Task > Sub-task (or Epic > Story > Task) hierarchy that nests together within the list view. Currently there is only the ability to nest two levels (e.g. Epic > Sub-task).

I have not seen anything beyond that post. I expect it is the best source of truth at this his point.

Unfortunately Jira Work Management templates doesn't show three levels of records, but I did customize my project by bringing in Epic & Milestone/Story/Task (issue types) and then made my project plan look 3 layers of records (Epic -> Story/Milestone/Task -> Sub-Task), so far it works find in my List View, Board View & Calendar View.  

But unfortunately this doesn't work properly in the Timeline view.  In Timeline view, the Epic & the Child records doesn't nest each other, Epic might be displayed in the top of the Timeline view, while the Child records (Milestone/Task/Story, Sub Tasks) might be displayed some where down below in the view (underneath some other Tasks).  I have to manually drag and bring it under the Epic to view them together.

I hope Atlassian will work on bringing out of the box 3 level nested layers, like you mention, this is a deal breaker to bring in other teams that are using Monday.com or Microsoft Project Plan, Smartsheets ... etc.

@Chase Wilson Any update on this? I'm inheriting a team that is currently using Monday for project management. I would like to bring them into Work Management, but this is currently a deal-breaker for their processes.

Jira Work Management only has Issue and Sub-task layers.

Jira Software implements Epics (but they work in JWM projects too, when you add Software to it)

This still does not help what I am looking for. I need the ability to nest more than just an issue and sub-task.
