I cannot assign Epics directly on Stories, Tasks, Bugs, or Spikes because the field is not appearing anywhere on the Issue customization screen. How do I add an Epic field to these Issue types?
For a Team Managed project you cannot add the Epic field to the issue and add an issue to an Epic by editing the field. Here are some ways you can add an already created issue to an Epic.
1. Click the Add Epic link in the issue breadcrumbs.
2. When viewing the issue on a Board, click the ... and select Add Parent.
3. If you have the Backlog screen and you hover over the card you will see a +Epic button that you can click.
4. If you have the Backlog screen and the Epics panel, drag the issue from the issue list and drop it on the Epic.
This is helpful, but why on earth can you not add an epic field for a team managed project? Makes no sense.
The options work, the problem is when you want to use JQL to extract reports, since the field does not exist it is impossible to filter it by the epic
Or how do you extract issues from an epic with JQL when the project is managed by the team?
Seriously, the team-managed project option is for people who like to suffer.

In the JQL use
Parent=<Epic Issue Key>
