Unable to assign Epic to custom issue type

Question

1. we have custom hierarchy set up for Advanced Roadmap

2. On one of our Jira projects we have Epic panel and the custom issue Type enabled. The problem is these epics cannot be assigned to custom issue type on the Jira project. This used to work in the past and as you can see for other issues there is an epic name but not anymore

No, you won't be able to see that hierarchy on the board - only in the Advanced Roadmap plan

So there is no way we can have Bragi Initiative associated to Epics in the board without adjusting this custom hierarchy settings?
What was causing the confusion though was that in settings it shows a note the hierarchy settings are applicable for only Advanced Roadmaps. I will talk to concerned team and see if we can remove them. Thank you

Correct - you can only use Epic Link from Story.

And for Epics and above, you will only see issues that are for the Issue Type directly above that issue type. In other words, for Epics, you should only see Bragi Initiative for the parent link field. For Bragi Initiative issue types, you should only see Quarterly Objective for the parent link, etc.
