Trying to add stories to sub-epics

[German Guberman]

How can I add stories to sub-epics? I want to have several layers of child issues.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

Jira does not have sub-epics.  The hierarchy in Jira Software is Epic / Issue / sub-task.

There are some apps in the marketplace that give you layers above Epic (Advanced Roadmaps for example), but if you want many layers around Epic/issue, you'll need to look at Structure

Hi, @German Guberman. @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-  is right. Advanced Roadmaps can help you add a layer or two above the standard Jira epic, but it still expects you to do things in a prescribed fashion.

Structure for Jira on the other hand can enable you to do what you describe and more. You can check out Structure on the Atlassian Marketplace and snag a free trial from there if you wish.

Epic (no pun intended) - thank you!
