Edit Issue: Epic Link // Can't get set value to work

[Deleted user]

When an issue is created

• And issue type = task
• And label = [set value]

Then

• Edit Issue
  • Epic Link = [set value]
• Create 4 sub-tasks

The sub-tasks piece is working, updating the asignee, etc., however, I can't get the Epic Link piece to work. I've tried entering the Epic name, the Epic's issue #, the issue # & name -- what value is this field looking for?

Hi @[deleted] -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As you appear to be using a company-managed project...

Your task issue connects to epics using the Epic Link field, and you may set that with the key (e.g. ABC-123) for that epic.

The epic name field you are trying to set only applies to an Epic issue type.

Kind regards,
Bill
