Linking issues within same project

[yavnika.thapa]

Hello, I have started using Jira as a beginner for my project management. However, i am facing an issue. My epic has some listed issues and I want to link those issues as per their dependencies. However, when I select an individual issue- I click link issue-so the issues that I need to link it to --> I am not able to see any issues from the same project. It shows me some issues from other project.

How can I resolve this. I need to link the issue within same or different epic within a same project as of now

Hi Yavnika - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Just to clarify, are you on the story issue? Or the Epic issue? when you try to link? 

When in the link field, do you type the exact issue key of the other issue on the project that you want to link to? 

Also, if the issues are already children under the same Epic, why do you want to link them to each other also?
