How do I move a Jira issue to a different epic, or remove from epic altogether?

Robert Meador

Using the "new" (sigh) interface. There used to be an "Edit" link where I could edit everything to do with an issue, including changing the Epic Link (to another epic or no epic).

I do not find that link any more. Is it hidden?

If not, how do I move an issue out of an epic now?

the new issue view does away w/ having to go to another screen to edit. in the new view you should be able to edit any displayed field directly. If your field is not shown then you would need to add it to the screen, if it is available.

If I go to one of my stories that is not currently attached to an epic and I click the "show more" link then I see Epic Link none. I can then edit and change none to the desired Epic Name. If it isn't there then you need to go to project settings > Issue Layout and edit the layout associated w/ story. If it isn't listed then you need to ensure Epic Link is on the screen config.

Also, if I'm working in the world of Epics I have the Epic Name field on the create so that I can optionally add the Epic at that time if I want. Of course I can always add a story to an epic after the fact.
