Creating issues, "link to epic" will not show

Question

In Confluence, I am creating multiple issues from a table.
I want these issues to be linked to the epic that is already linked to the page.

When I try to create the issues, I do not see the option to link to an epic:

I have seen articles about multiple epics and other problems that seemed unrelated and haven't been able to find an answer to my situation.

Also, pardon my french!

I am having the same issue.  I currently cannot link any stories to an epic that is already linked on the page.  This was a key reason for our company switching to Confluence.  It is very time consuming to manually link all of the stories to the Epic.  When can we expect this to be corrected?

Hello @Monika Rani ,

Thank you for answering!

There is an existing link to an Epic (see first screenshot "Jira links").
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working.

Hi @Sylvain A. ,

Welcome to the Community!

you need to have an existing link to an Epic in the same Confluence page in order to see the option to link issues with the Epic.

Please add it and let me know if it will help you.

Cheers,

Monika
