Board views - issuetypes != Story

[Gleica]

In board views, when a story has an epic linked, the cards appear linked when they are in the same status (Story + Epic).

Why doesn't the same happen with Tasks, Bugs or other types of items at the same level as stories?

Hello @Gleica 

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

Can you provide screen images to show us what you are seeing, both for the Story + Epic, and for a Task/Bug/Other type that is not showing in the same way?

it's like this

I would like it to stay like this

Hello @Gleica 

What is the project type for the YMD project? Get that information from the View All Projects page under the Projects menu.

What you have highlighted in the second image is a Story and its Sub-task. Subtasks will display nested under their parent issue. This is a special feature of Subtasks. The same feature is not available for Epics and their child issues.

If you want to group child issues under their parent Epics you would need to change the Group By option for the board to Epics.
