Epic summary shows when linking story to Epic

Question

Hi Community,

Was wondering if it's possible to show the Epic Link when linking a Story to an Epic instead of it showing the Summary?

Why would it even show me the summary instead of the Epic Link when I'm linking a Story to a specific Epic. For me, it makes no sense.

Dear Jan,

Thanks for the reply, It seems you have found the issue to my problem in which I misunderstood the link between Epic/Story.

Many thanks!

Is there a specific reason that you use the "linked issues" function instead of the "Epic Link" function that is accessible under "show more" on the right hand side of your issue overview?

Is the option "epic link" even displayed under "show more" in your configuration?

First of all, thanks for the replies!

I have created an test epic with the following values: 
Summary; TEST EPIC SUMMARY
Name: TEST EPIC NAME

When linking a test story to the epic, it shows me the Summary where i ideally would want to see the epic name:

An easy fix would be renaming the summary just like the Epic name but the whole idea of the summary would be obsolete..
