So one can link Issues to an EPIC with the EPIC link automatically. However how can you cross link all issues under an EPIC to each other and not have to go to the EPIC to see all the issues that are associated. We're trying to link issues that are dependent on one another and our project manager has to keep going back to the EPIC to see all the issues linked. Is this done by some form of custom trigger? Suggested are needed and welcome. Thank you!

Hello @Dom
Per your description, I understand you would like to automatically create a link between issues under the same Epic.
This goal can be easily achieved by automation for Jira, however, you will need to define a trigger for this operation. Let me give you a practical example:
Let's suppose you want to link all the issues from a parent to a new issue when it got created under that same parent. These would be the steps:
The rule above works in the following way:
Let us know if this information helps.
Awesome! Seems like it will work. I figured it would be with automation based on a trigger. We'll test and let you know.
Thank you,
You are welcome, @Dom
Have a nice week and let us know if that automation worked as you expected.
Ok. So I tested and I think it's not doing what I was envisioning. We want to add an issue to an Epic but then have all issues under an Epic to cross link with one another. We do not want to have to click the Epic link to get back to the Epic to then have to click the issue we're looking for. here's an example:
We have an EPIC (Customer Project), the project requires 2 issues to be created under this EPIC: Issue #1 (Server Install) and Issue#2 (Interface Installation). Issue 2 cannot proceed until Issue 1 is finished. We would like to view Issue 2 and link directly from there to Issue 1 and check the status. We do not want to view Issue 2 then click the Epic then find Issue 1. Make sense?
