Enable custom feature types to apply other records

What is the challenge?

The custom types (configured in the features status/workflow) are only available for features. This type categorization is needed for other record types, including epics.

What is the impact?

The current workaround is to use a custom field instead with the same options on features, epics (or other records).

However, the feature type field cannot be disabled when creating new features.

The custom field approach does not provide for the functionality associated with the custom types (e.g. description templates per type).

Describe your idea

It would be helpful to be able to use the custom types for other records, including epics.
