Usage of Attribute "Epic Color"

Question

Hey,

I am trying to link the Card Colors in the Backlog to the Linked Epics.

I already tried the following commands:
"Epic Color" = "ghx-label-2"
"Epic Color" = 'ghx-label-2'
"Epic Color" = "Orange"
"Epic Color" = "#ff8b00"

Edit: 
I also tried it without the quotation marks.
And all of these with "Colour" instead of Color.

I also tried "Epic Color" is not EMPTY - this worked to set the card colors for all cards, but obviously i want it depending on the linked Epic.

Another thing that worked, but isnt really what i am looking for was:
"Epic Link" = "NameOfEpic"

Anyone has any idea if thats somehow possible in the latest Jira version? (Jira v8.20.10)

Thats exactly what i tried before which does not work. I described this exact situation in my initial post. :(

Okay so
1. Only Epics have the colour chosen for them - if you compare the details view for the Epic and task/story you will see you only get that square to choose the colour on EPIC

2. As you assign a story/task/bug/etc to epic it will get the "sticker-label" visible in the backlog overview and on the board with the epic name in the colour of the epic - this is done by default by JIRA

But if you try to do what I think you try to do...

Now - if you want the card colour to match epic meaning - the card colour that you can set in the board settings - then based on a smilier thread https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Set-issue-color-as-Epic-color/qaq-p/1290257

You will have to create your colors based on queries, and add 14 Queries.

Then you can use the following query, replacing the number with values from 1-14:

"Epic Color" = ghx-label-1

My goal is to set the color of the Storys in my backlog the same color as the Epics they are assigned to, as shown in this picture
