Random Epic Name Change

Question

Hello, a few days ago we presented an anomaly in JIRA, in 1 project, the names of the epics that were created, just randomly changed, no one in the project made the change, so I was wondering if it was atlassian that made the change by any reason

Have you ever experimented something like this?

@Trudy P Claspill thanks for your response!  It did turn out to be the change you mentioned regarding Epic Name values being replaced with Epic Summary values after all.

Though you don't have screen images can you provide an example from memory of what one of the changed values was before and after the change?

On what screen are you seeing the change? Have you confirmed that it is not the change I mentioned that Atlassian is rolling out, to stop using Epic Name values and replace them with Epic Summary values?

I don't have before and after screenshots, but we've seen the same thing happen in our Jira instance:  a bunch of Epic names have been changed and no one on the team seems to have done this.  None of the impacted Epics record a name change in the history section on the Epic issue, so not sure if Jira logs the action for Epic name changes?
