Create a 'Goal' from an Epic in Jira software project

[Tyler Simecek]

I need to create a 'Goal' from an Epic in Jira software project. Based on screen shots provided from documentation (added here) it looks like it should be an option but we do not see the UI button on our epics.

Thanks Carlos, I actually 'Goals' field that Jira has added a native field that needs to be added to the screen scheme in order to leverage this functionality. It different UI and placement that the documentation/picture shows but functionality seems to work as expected so far.

Hi @Tyler Simecek ,

Have you enabled goals? This article has the steps to enable Goals so they can be used to be linked in Jira issues.
