How do I set issue hierarchy of a new issue type between Epic and User Story?

Krishna P G May 15, 2025

In a Company-Managed Project, I have added a new issue type called 'Feature'.

I would like to position this issue type in the Issue hierarchy between Epic and Story. Could you please suggest how this can be achieved?

Note: 
For context, I have already successfully added another issue type, 'Portfolio', above Epic."

Thank you Alexander.

I have gone through this document and tried what it says, and it did not help.

I need steps to achieve the below view and its not happening out of Jira documentation to me, not sure if I am missing anything here.

As I said earlier, I am successful if I were to add anything above Epic.

To me the documentation sounds you need to rename the "Epic". Apparently, if you keep the default names, you cannot insert a new hierarchy level between Epic and Story.

Alexander, i persisted with your idea and it works, I understood the small magic to be done. Thanks again.

Now it looks like this, as required in the project.
