How can I expose the 'parent' or 'epic' link field in Jira Work Manager?

Today I cannot seem to add the 'Parent Link' or 'Epic Link' fields to tasks in Jira Work Manager, therefore I cannot navigate from Child to Parent in the tool.

How can this be enabled, configured ?

Hi @Erick Crowell ,

where are you wanting to expose? You can add Epic Link to your view screen as illustrated below...

These instructions are for 'Jira Software' not 'Jira Work Management' tool which is like a Jira lite type product. My question is how can I make this change in that tool?

Hi @Erick Crowell , So the instructions apply to my Business project not software project. With that said, if you only have JWM, things could admittedly be different. However, I am a bit surprised if the above did not work for you.

I guess if you could share more about what you are seeing, it would help me help you further. For example:

Have you added the Epic as an issue type?
When you go to the project settings > screens and try to add Epic link what do you experience?

Hey .. As an experienced Jira admin myself I am also confused.

In a nut-shell, Jira Work Manager does not expose 'Screen Schemes' used by projects, so you cannot add fields that are missing.

So I cannot figure how to add the field to the layout.
