Epics no longer show up in Backlog

[susan craft]

I just created the following JQL: Project = FOO and EpicLink in (epic#, epic#, epic#) order by rank.  

The results give me all of the stories associated with those epics, BUT i can no longer see the Epic names in the backlog view (Epic bar on the left) or in the story listing (usually it shows up in the far end of the story).  I have selected Show Epic labels from the Board pulldown too....

These same epics showed up clear as day using this JQL: Project = Foo and Assignee = John Doe AND status != Done Order by rank. 

What have I done wrong here?

Thanks,

Susan

Hi Susan,

Just add one of these to your JQL:

• OR type = Epic
• OR issuetype = Epic

Thanks, but adding one of the above simply returns ALL epics in the project.  The specified epic names still do not show up in the backlog view.
