Closed Epic and all (closed) user stories appear in the backlog

Eleanor Tsang

Hi, 

We deployed a release and I wanted to close Epics associated with that release. I went into Epic panel and selected "Mark as Done". I go back to the backlog after all the clean up and see that all previously closed user stories associated with those closed Epics are now in the backlog. Using JIRA cloud.

Is this a bug, or how can we fix this?

Hello @Eleanor Tsang 

I tried your scenario in my instance and i have the same result, so i think that is how is work.

The issue diplayed in the board come from a filter. That being said, "Mark as done" option change the epic status and not the issue status.

You'll need  to write a query that will find stories link to an epic that have an epic status = Done.

But to write this query you will need an addon like scriptrunner 

 

Hope this helps.
