Several add-ons Apps can perform part or all of the points above from the UI - my primary favorites are JSU Automatiuon Suite and Automation. But I mostly use JIRA Scriptrunner - I does require programming, but extends flexability of the function; the downside is its more time consuming and you have to maintain the groovy code Yourself (between upgrades etc) |
Limitless
As facted, subtasks to subtasks is not a possibility - in JIRA this can be partly overcome by a great App like Structure
With links, this limit is not existing; but of cause there a danger in the fact that links can end up being more of a mesh that a strucute.
Some other Apps like Issue Links Viewer or Pathfinder can help visualising the linking.
