add Hierarchy levels in ADVANCED ROADMAPS in JIRA Data Center

[Jenny Chen]

We have a few issue types: Epic, Story, sub-task,  Technical Requirement, Development Task, etc. 

By default Hierarchy level is 

• Hierarchy: Epic to Story
• Hierarchy: Epic to sub-task

Can I add 

• Hierarchy: Epic to Technical Requirement
• Hierarchy: Epic to Development Task

Thanks,

Jenny

Hi @Jenny Chen ,

Since you already have Epic to Story hierarchy, you will automatically have "Epic to Technical Requirement" and "Epic to Development Task" if these are standard issue types.

If you add any standard issue type in hierarchy, it automatically adds all other standard issue types at same level.

Thanks,

Aditya

Hi Aditya, 

If I selected Epic as top level, the options for Dev-task and Technical-req cannot be selected ( grey items). Below is the Hierarchy Configuration: I have added the first two rows as attached screenshot: Dev-task <-Development Task and Technical-req <-Technical Requirement. The last three rows were already present as default options. However, I do not have the ability to select 'Epic' when adding new Hierarchy levels. Do I miss anything?

Thanks,

Jenny

Hi @Jenny Chen ,

You can display hierarchy only from top to bottom levels. Since you have configured "Technical Requirement" and "Development Task" issue types to be above Epic level in your config, you will not be able to filter from Epics to Technical Requirements.

Level above Epics commonly get called things like Initiatives or Legends – though it’s entirely up to you. To add issue types above epics to your plan, you’ll first need to create a new issue type in Jira Software.

Thanks,
Aditya

Hi @Jenny Chen ,

Here "Story" represents all standard issue types (Bug, Task, Development Task etc.).

If you will create any standard issue type ticket under your epic KTX-1, it will appear on the roadmap here.

Thanks,
Aditya
