How do I add the epic link as a field to my story and bug issue types?

Question

On a future type and it does not show up as an option

Tony Rossiter · Answer

Hey Chris,

Jira is a web app so all of the changes will be done through a web browser regardless of your deployment (cloud vs server).  That link I posted will guide you through how to add fields to the Create Screen used to create the Story and Defect issue types in your project.

Hope this helps!

I assume you mean that you can't add an Epic Link field on new tickets?

If this is the case, you need to:

* Have Jira Software installed
* Have admin access to the project and/or system
* Add the Epic Link field to the create screen of the issue type in question in your project
