Remove one Issue from an EPIC not possible with new UI

André Matzke

Hello,

I am using the new UI since 1.5-2 y. And there is not a day, I wish back the old UI from Jira 6. I hope Atlassian will come around soon and makes the new UI at least as good as the old one.

I have an issue, which was accidentally added into an Epic.

Now I cannot remove its Epic Link. If I hover in the right pane above the Epic Link there is no "Remove" Icon. I can only click on it and then the click leads to the epic issue.

Ive discovered a work around. I am using the bulk edit option in the issue management inside the epic issue and pick the one and make the field empty for the epic link. Thats a little bit annoying and in my opinion a huge inconvenience.

We have project leaders, who struggle with the new UI jira a lot, and such thing I can never explain to them.

Am I to stupid to find the correct (and maybe way easier) way ?

Or can someone help me with a better work around ?

Best Regards,

Andre

Hi @André Matzke

Could it be that the Epic Link is missing from the edit screen of the specific issue type? Try to add it there and then try editing the epic link.

Hi @Alex Koxaras -Relational-

I actually do not understand, what do you mean by "edit screen" and how it can be missing .. Also I do know what you mean by "the specific issue type" ?

I have in my Jira issue in the right pane, where I can edit properties like "Assignee" or "Story Points" also a field "EPIC Link". If I want, I can add there an EPIC. But if I did that, then I cannot remove it there anymore.

Can it be, that you are talking about some other place, where I can edit those things .. As I mentioned, I maybe dont know where such place is..

Issue types, screen operation (create, edit & view) are pretty basic terminology for Jira and you can learn more here and here.

Can I ask you how did you enter the value on the Epic link in the first place? If you were e.g. on the specific screen of the screenshot you are showing me, and you just hover and clicked your mouse on the empty field of the Epic Link, and then you entered the Epic Link, then inserting the Epic Link in the edit screen is not the solution.

If you entered the Epic Link during the create screen of that issue, then inserting the Epic Link in the edit screen could be the solution. If this is the case, and you are not a Jira Admin, then I would suggest that you contact your jira admin to place the Epic Link on the Edit Screen of the specific issue type you are seeing.

If you are a jira admin, then:

Go to the cog > issues > screens
Locate the edit screen of the issue type
Add the Epic Link on the edit screen
Go to your issue and edit the epic link
