Please add this

+1 that would be most useful for both Kanban and Scrum boards

The company I am at has Jira Premium and we use the new hierarchy levels, but their use on the team level is limited by the absence of this feature. Adding it would improve greatly the ways teams can visualize their work.

+1 this would be extremely useful

I somehow persuaded the managers to pay for premium (>100 users) just to realize then that after making the new hierachy with initiatives and themes, there's no way to improve our existing epic dashboard and use initiative, or any above-epic level as swimlanes.

Honnestly, I don't understand why it's not possible already. 

Please add this feature 

Thanks

+1

Why have them available as a 'higher' up than epic, but can't group by them?

We'd like this too, having one board for our team with swim-lanes of projects (Initiatives) that can be managed from a high level in Advanced Roadmap

Please add this. Really needed feature

Seems silly that this isn't already a thing 

We really need to bump up the level of issue hierarchy for Kanban and Timelines. Please make this happen.
