How to add initiative layer in big picture?

[narender mehra]

Here is a brief description:

I have initiatives that are divided into epics for each team's project. And then further these epics are divided into stories and tasks for team's backlog.

How can I show all three layers on big picture gantt chart?

It is possible to do using jira portfolio add-on but unfortunately, it doesn't give me a flexibility to modify gantt on the go using drag and drop functionality. Also, it is not possible to display dependencies using arrows that is provided by BP.

Any answers would be highly appreciated.

The above section can be found in Program configuration.

Let me know if it was helpful.
