'How to set a custom work item to a back log level

I am using inherited agile template where in Epic level backlog, we have hierarchy Epic > Feature > User Story

I am defining a custom work item type "Requirement" which I want to add under Feature and also display in the backlog hierarchy.

I could not figure out how to do it.

The Requirement backlog, also referred to as the product backlog, defines the work item types that appear on the product backlog and Kanban board. The default work item type for Agile is User Story; for Basic, Issue; for Scrum, Product Backlog Item; and for CMMI, Requirement.

You can rename the backlog, change the color, add work item types, and change the default work item type. Open the Edit backlog dialog from the context menu for the Requirements backlog.

Here, we've renamed the backlog, added Customer Ticket and Issue, and changed the default type to Customer Ticket. Check those boxes of the work item types to include on the backlog.

For more info, you can refer to Customize your backlogs or boards.
