How do you set up parent-child relationship between custom fields?

Mattia Pace April 19, 2022

Hi,

I'm new to JIRA Software. 

As of today, I can't find a way to create or edit the current parent-child relationship of issues. 

The default is:

epic
story-bug-task
subtask

While I'd prefer to use this one:
epic
feature
story-bug
task

Can I do this, and how? 
Thanks a lot for your help
Matt

You have some options with apps - Structure or Agile Tools for example.

Hi

You can configure issue types under options->issues->issue type schemes.

Thanks for your answer.

That actually doesn't solve my issue, however.

I want to hierarchically sort issues while, as of today, whatever new issue I create is listed at the same level of stories, then you have epics above and sub-tasks below and that's it.

I see, so you could try to configure custom hierarchy under Roadmap: Plans->Administration->Hierarchy configuration. Or add a "Parent link" field to issues screen to manually set up parent-child relation.

I think these are only Premium options, while I'm on a standard Plan. And I was trying to avoid spending double my current price just to add a issue level, it is frustrating.
