Few days ago all things went well, for unknown reasons, now when I create story in Kanban backlog with a epic selected in epic panel, new story doesn't link to the selected epic automatically anymore. How can I fix this problom, thanks for any help.

In my experience, simply have the Epic selected in the Epic pane is not enough to cause a new issue created in the backlog to be made a child of that Epic.

If you click the > to the left of the Epic Name in the Epics panel, do you see a "Create Issue in epic" link within the expanded Epic pane entry? In my experience using that is the way to link an issue to an Epic during creation.

Alternately you can use the Create button at the top of the screen and manually setting the Epic Link field, or open the Epic issue itself and select the option to add a child issue to the Epic.

Thanks for your advice. But it does work as expect few days ago. I can add a bundle of issues quickly through this way.  I filled story title in textarea, with enter key typed, story was created and appear in backlog list with selected epic  linked.
