Hierarchies
Hierarchies allow users to create a set of related issues (i.e. Sub-tasks and Stories) in a matter of a few clicks.
Hierarchies support all of the available issue types and custom fields, including even attachments (usually used to attach a document template).
Before creating your first Hierarchy we suggest making yourself familiar with the key terms below.
Glossary

Node - a blueprint of an issue. It’s the main building block in the Hierarchy.
There’s a total of 3 Node types:
Child Node - a Node that is created under another Node (typically Sub-tasks or Stories under an Epic).
Parent Node - a Node that contains one or more associated Child Nodes
Root Node - a Node that doesn’t have any associated Parent Node
