Is it possible to restrict epic under epic issuetype?

Question

Hello Team,

When using the "+" button to create an issue under an epic in the Jira project, it is allowing to create Epic issue type.

Jira allows to select the "Epic" issue type when creating an issue under an Epic. For the "normal" issue types everything is fine/as expected. Is there a way to hide the Epic issue type in the "Create issue in epic" dialog under Epic?

Normal create screen don't generally include an "epic link" field. So this script should work.

hi @Daniel Ebers ,

I have added screen in my other comment. basically use case is, when we create issue in Epic, it is allowing us to create Epic issue. It is not impacting anything because it will create separate Epic but Ideally it should show other issue types only Task, Story etc than Epic.

Hope you understand my requirement.

Thanks,

Prashant

Hi @PD Sheehan ,

Thanks for reply. but we want to hide Epic issue type for specific screen  i.e 'Create issue in Epic' screen. Logic should be different than Normal create screen.
