Label of Epic change but still old name in the label shown in the scrumboard

Sambath SUN_ybtxhy

Hello,

I changed the label of an Epic ( of all my epic to be honest ) by adding [budget ID] in bracket as prefixe of the name (I will try to configurate a budget property later for my ticket view).

But in the scrumboard screen, the epic name on the ticket is still the old one. If I go in the detailed view of the ticket, same, Epic in the value list is still the old name.

If I click on the label Epic, it jump to the Epic view and this time, it has the real name with the [budget IT] in the label...

Do you know why ? Is there a sort of short name and long name in the ticket ?

Thanks for your help !

Epic names are a bit odd in Jira. There are sort of two:

The "Summary" field in an Epic is what sometimes shows.
The "Epic Name" field in an Epic shows at other times.

A best-practice that I always follow is to set them to the same thing all the time. Then there is no confusion when one field shows here, and the other field shows there.

Hope that helps.

Hi @Sambath SUN

Yes, and...to what Mykenna suggests:

For company-managed projects, the "Epic Name" field still exists and for team-managed projects only the "Summary" is used for epics.

My understanding is this is changing, as the "Epic Name" field is being sunset over time, and so only "Summary" will be used.

Kind regards,
Bill

Ok, but the summary is empty : I created the Epic in the Roadmap interface and I changed the name in the Roadmap too. So I never "touch" anything else thant the Summary.

Moreover, when I go in the detailed Epic screen, the summary is empty (since it is the first time I go in the details of the Epic). So, I did you method : I add my Epic Name in the Summary (in French interface it is "Description" so I hope we are talking about the same property...) but it still show different label in the name and in the Epic link

There is no way to access this Summary in the screens that exist by default ?

Thanks,

Sambath

Just to clarify the situation today for company-managed projects:

There are fields for Summary, Description, Epic Name, and many others
Summary and Epic Name are required fields when creating an issue of type Epic

If you are seeing something differently, please post an image as that may provide some context for what is happening. Thanks!
