Creating Epics in an existing project which does not have Issue type as "Epic"

Deepak Kandpal

I have created a Kaban project which I am using to track the task of my team. However, I initially missed selecting the Issue type as "Epic" while creating the Project, but now I wanted to create/add Epics in the same project.

Is it possible? if yes, please advise.

@Deepak Kandpal Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

This is possible.

If the issue type Epic does not exist (yet) for your project, have it added to the Issue Type Scheme by a Site or Jira admin.

If the issue type Epic already exists in the issue type scheme associated with your project, you can simply create a new issue Epic.

Hi Dave, thanks for responding back. Could you help me with the steps/navigation plz?

Here's the link to the documentation: Add, edit and delete an issue type scheme

Please note that you need to be a Jira administrator in order to do this.

You can not create issues of a type that the project does not contain.

You will need to add the Epic type to the project to let people create Epics in the project. Go to the project, find the project settings, go into the "issue type scheme" and add Epic to it in there. (check if this is a shared scheme though, if you have other projects that might not want Epics)

Hi Nic, under issues I cant find <Issue type schemes>

After navigating to project setting => Issues I have following sub headings:

- Layout

- Screens

- Fields

- Collectors

- Security

Plz advise. Thank you.

You'll need an admin to go to the project settings and get into the issue type scheme to add Epic to it.
