Can I create an Epic like type JIRA card?

[Casey Maynard]

Our team uses Epics to track releases over several Sprints.

Our team would like to create a similar type Epic card (that has the Epic card features) that could be to track specific set of Fix Versions (but mostly just one Fix Version for each Epic would be the most likely scenario)

Is there a way to create another "Epic Like" type JIRA card?  We could most likely call this card type a "Master Card".

Thanks.

I'm afraid Jira only supports having one issue type of "Epic" with all it's extra functions.

You could use something like Structure or Portfolio to give you something similar though.

The question I am asking is if I can create a DIFFERENT type of card type that 'mimics' the functionality of an Epic card?

And Unfortunately, both Structure and Portfolio are out of our budget.

As I said, it only supports one issue type like that.

Thanks.  I guess I will need to figure out where I can submit a request for Atlassian to add this as a feature.  As we have a need for Epic 'type' cards, but not have them called 'Epics'.
