Sure! In Jira, you can use multiple custom fields, including date fields, to meet your needs. You can also extend functionality with scripting, coding changes in workflows, and automation. You can also create new issue types which can represent whatever you like, or use Epic with some code name for enviroment and set start/end dates to show it on timeline, or use version with enviroment added like v1.0.0-stage, v1.0.0-s, s1.0.0; v1.1.0-prod, dev etc.

But...

Before diving into customization, check if you already have a testing app in place. Many testing apps provide built-in configurations or best practices that might help streamline your workflow and improve team productivity.

For example, Xray offers a great way to use Environments within their app:

This could give you ideas on how to configure your own setup - even if you decide to implement something similar from scratch.

This app also looks promissing: https://www.apwide.com/release-management-in-jira/
