How to add Jira generated fields on card using a next-gen project

Julius Sudds

I want to add the jira generated fields to my stories (epic link, epic name, fixVersions, sprint, etc.) to my cards so that I can configure them easily but the only options it gives me for jira-generated fields are the ones in the picture below. How would I add, let's say Epic Name, to that list to be available.

Hello Julius,

The Next-gen template was designed for those users who felt overwhelmed by the complexity of JIRA Classic template and requested a simpler option, straight to the point with fewer options of customization and fields. Indeed, the fields you are seeing in that screen are the ones available for JIRA Next-gen.

About your second question, JIRA Next-gen Epics also works in a different way, where they are not configured with the fields Epic Name and Epic Link.

Although these features were not planned in the first release of Next-gen projects, we have noticed a big interest from our customers to implement it, so we created the feature requests below properly track it:

- As a user, I'd like to be able to use JQL for Epic Link for Next-Gen project epics

- Custom fields for Next-gen project
