For JWM project it is possible, but not for software projects
It shows that there are child issues but does not show it as a tree
From Timeline configuration, I have enabled also include child-level issues

Hello @Martin Vali
I had the exact same issue on my instance. What I did is that I created a new Plan and from now on I only navigate on the plan timeline to visualize the full hierarchy.
The steps are the following:
- Access Advanced Roadmaps:
- Navigate to the Plans section in your Jira instance.
- If you haven't created a plan yet, click on Create plan and follow the prompts to set up your plan, selecting the relevant issue sources (boards, projects, or filters) that include your subtasks.
-
Configure issue hierarchy:
- Within your plan, go to Settings > Hierarchy configuration.
- Ensure that the hierarchy includes subtasks. The default hierarchy is Epic > Story > Subtask. If subtasks are missing, add them to the hierarchy.
-
Ensure subtasks are properly linked:
- Subtasks should be directly associated with their parent stories or tasks. In Advanced Roadmaps, subtasks linked directly to epics may not display correctly.
-
View subtasks on the timeline:
- After configuring the hierarchy and ensuring correct linking, return to your plan's timeline view.
- Expand the parent issues to see the associated subtasks displayed on the timeline.
They explain it pretty well in their doc as well!
