Cannot assign Epic to Story

Kyle Lawrence_puehoz

I have been able to assign Epics to Stories on a project board until a few days ago. The error reads 'You can only set epic links for issues on the task level. Please check your hierarchy configuration settings.' 

 

Where can I access the hierarchy configuration settings for my project? 

 

Furthermore, are there aspects of Jira that could be effecting this, maybe some other change in configurations?

Can you give me some specifics on what you do to make this happen?

"Assign Epics to Stories on a project board" is a little confusing. 

The error message was "You can only set epic links for issues on the task level. Please check your hierarchy configuration settings."

That makes me wonder if you're trying to set the "Epic Link" value on the epic itself, and pointing to the story, rather than setting the story's "Epic Link" to the Epic.

As for the Hierarchy settings, they are not by project, that is a system level setting.
