v 1.10.X Сreate Hierarchy
You can create a Hierarchy using a simple Hierarchy editor.
To do this, go to Templates → Create Hierarchy in the navigation bar.
We provide a set of predefined Sample Hierarchies, which you can use as an example of Hierarchy to play around with or save immediately.
Fill the required field Hierarchy name and optionally add a Description.
2. Click the Add Node button at the bottom of the screen to create your first Root Node.
3. For the newly created Root Node, you need to fill out the Summary of the future issue, choose the Project in which it will be created and the appropriate Issue Type.
4. Enable Dynamic Reporter checkbox to set the Reporter field to be equal to any user that’s applying the Hierarchy. Disable it to select a fixed user as a Reporter (step 6) when applying the Hierarchy.
5. Click the Ready button on the created Root Node to complete the preparation of the Node.
6. Now you can proceed with filling in the fields of the future issue, for this, click the Edit Fields button. A familiar dialog for creating a new issue will open. Fill in all required fields and the fields that you consider necessary in this issue.
The Epic Link field will be set automatically to a parent Epic Node (if any).
If there’s no parent Node of type Epic, a user can associate the node with an existing Epic by specifying it in the Epic Link field.
Additionally, you can use the Template Picker that located in the upper right corner of the dialog to simplify filling out the fields in case you already have some Templates.
7. When the issue is ready, click the Apply button to save its state and continue working on creating a Hierarchy.
8. Click Add Child on the created Root Node to create the nested Child Node. Repeat the steps to populate the Root Node and populate the Issue for the nested Node.
9. Create Nodes for all the issues you need, related to this Hierarchy. You can mix different projects and issue types within a single Hierarchy.
10. Click the Validate button to check the Hierarchy on errors. If everything is set up correctly, in the Validation column for each Node there will be a Valid status displayed.
11. Now you can save the Hierarchy using the Save Hierarchy button at the bottom.
You will be redirected to the Manage Hierarchy Page, with which you can Apply your Hierarchy and manage others.
Or if you want to create another Hierarchy just check the “Create another” box. The hierarchy will be saved but you will NOT be redirected to the Manage Hierarchy Page. Already created Nodes will stay and you can reuse them to create a similar Hierarchy without recreating it from scratch.
Additionally, you can quickly access and use your Hierarchies from the Templates → Apply Hierarchy menu item in the top navigation menu in Jira.
