How do I remove an completed epic from Epic panel on backlog?

Mark Brierley

I've updated the "status" of the epic to be "done", but it has not fallen off my backlog's epic panel (weirdly, I thought it HAD fallen off previously, but is suddenly back.... bug?...).

I see other posts about this, but they aren't helpful since they all reference changing the "epic status" field to "done", but I don't see that anywhere... not in the epic details on the backlog, not in the epic details when I bring up the full page epic, and not in the configuration settings for epics.

Hi @Mark Brierley

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

I just do a filter like this

project = XX AND (type != Epic or type = Epic AND status != Done) ORDER BY Rank ASC

But....this is a way of syncing the issue status (in the workflow) with the Epic status: Linking Epic Status to the Epic Issue Status | Jira | Atlassian Documentation

But you still need a very similar filter:

project = XX AND (type != Epic or type = Epic AND "Epic Status" != Done) ORDER BY Rank ASC

That seems supremely over-complicated to change an "epic status". Do I really need to do all that?

Curt Holley

No, you don't have to, but that is how you ensure your epics are Done/Done/Done.

Further details: I'm in a free account and this is a team-based project.

re: the above article you recommended, I did read that one, but I don't see any of those options.

Here's what they suggest in the article:

Here's the Epic panel in my backlog. I don't have a "Mark as Done" option

If I click VIEW ALL DETAILS, I see this.... and I if I scroll beyond that I can see all the detail options for the epic, but there is no "epic status".

After playing with team vs company projects, seems like there is a different UX for managing "Done" Epics in Team-based projects. There is no "Epic Status" that I can find, so guess that's a feature request.
