Hello @Jar Lady
The Epic Name field is used only in Epic type issues. That field does not get used in any other issue type.
You may be thinking of the Epic Link field. That field shows in the issues that are children of the Epic, and will display the Epic's Name, but the field actually stores the Epic's issue key.
The native hierarchy of Jira is
Epic
|-- standard level issues such as Story, Task, and Bug
|-- sub-task level issues
Sub-task issues would not contain the Epic Link field because they are not directly linked to the Epic. They are only indirectly linked through their parent issue that is at the Standard Level.
Also, given that default hierarchy a Task could not actually be hierarchically below a Story, so I am unclear how you are achieving
Epic->Story->Task->Sub-Task
