How to edit issues link

[Lior Swisa]

hey everybody,
I built a bigger hierarchy than 'Epic' I called it 'Initiative',

now when people in my company want to create an 'issue link' for 'initiative',
I want them to find only Epic, and not what's under Epic like subtask or story

how i can do this?

Hi @Lior Swisa

Take a look at this post. You need to edit the issue linking options. Link: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/Jira-Automation-Sum-Up-Story-Points-from-Epics-e-g-Initiative-gt/ba-p/1926311

I am not sure , what i want is search in linked issues, and find only child issue

Hi @Lior Swisa

it looks like you want to restrict the issue types that can be displayed.  This cannot be accomplished out of the box.  

The linked issues fields allows you to select any type of issues in your environment.
