Link tickets to an epic in a different project

[Lea Geyser]

I would like to be able to create epics where tickets within the epic are able to be moved to another board without losing their link to the parent epic. For example, if i have a "Blue Project" and a "Red Project", and I create an epic "Epic A" under Blue, I want to be able to move a child ticket into Red while maintaining it as part of Epic A. Is this possible?

Hey @Lea Geyser Did you ever get this figured out? I'm running into the same issue and I'm looking for answers.

Hi @Lea Geyser 

Welcome to the community 🙂

Board is just a way to represent where the issue is by mapping the status to columns

We can perform transition, flag the issue and move the card to top or bottom of the swimlanes

You will be able to move the issues from one project to another while maintaining the epic link but just not from board, you would have to do it manually

Let me know if you have any queries

Thanks,

Pramodh

Do I need to do something special to turn this ability on? Today when I move tickets to another board, they lose their association with the parent epic and I am unable to reassign it, as the list of epics given is only whatever is on that board.

Hi @Lea Geyser 

May I know how you are moving the issues from one board to another?

And as said by @Jack Brickey May I know are you using a company-managed project or a team-managed project?

Hi @Lea Geyser , do you want to actually "link" the issue to the Epic or do you want to have the issue as a child of the Epic. Regardless you certainly can do either. There are no restrictions that an issue can only be associated with an epic in the same project.

I want to have the issue as a child. Right now, when I click on "add an epic" to a ticket on a certain board, I only see epics that are on that same board - it does not give me the option to select an epic from another board.

are you using TMP projects? If so you cannot do this. TMP projects are self-contained projects that live on their own project islands
