Adding due dates to Epics

Mo Sajjad

I am trying to use Jira for hardware project management. Not the most ideal solution but I'm trying things out to see what works best. So far I have tested epics to represent the phases for our project (like engineering prototype, engineering verification etc.). For this to work, I need to add start and end dates for these epics. Is this possible on the free version of Jira? If so, could someone guide me on how to set it up?

Hi Mo - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There is an existing field called Start date already that you can add to your screen using by that project. 

And then you should create a new date type custom field called End date. Be sure to add that field to the screen as well. Or you can simply use the existing Due date field.
