Why can't I see my epic in the sprint board?

[DavidTijerina]

My ticket is an epic.

It has the sprint field filled in with my sprint.

If I look at my sprint board, I see all my other stories and tasks...but not my epic.

What gives? Ideas?

Hello @DavidTijerina 

Welcome to the community.

Are you using a Team Managed Project or a Company Managed Project? It will say which at the bottom of the navigation pane on the left.

Typically Epics are not assigned to Sprints because the time span for an Epic often exceeds the time span of a sprint. But they are not programmatically blocked from being displayed on a board in a Sprint.

Are you not seeing it on the columnized Board view, or are you not seeing it on the Backlog screen for the board, or is it missing from both?

Can you show us screen images of what you see?

If you are using a Company Managed project, can you show us the filter for your board?

I am using a Team Managed Project.
I am not seeing it on the columnized Board view, nor am I seeing it in the Backlog.
I can not share images as it contains our work.

On the board's Backlog screen, Epics are not included in the issue list. They are displayed separately in an Epics panel which you reveal by selecting it in the Epics filter pull-down.

Epics do not display as cards in the columnized Board view.

Both of the above are, again, because Epics are not normally assigned to a sprint because the time span for an Epic typically exceeds the time span of a sprint. 

What problem are you trying to solve by assigning your Epics to a sprint?
