Hide closed Epics in Parent Link field when linking to a Story

Question

Hi Team,

We need to hide the closed Epics in Parent Link custom field, so that when a story getting liked to the parent it should not show the closed Epics.

We have script runner for Jira and we tried using behaviors, since the filed type is "Parent Link" the script is not working as expected.

Thanks,

Pavan B

Hi @Pavan Kumar ,

The only thing you may need to configure is adding the epic status to your screen. To do that go to project settings, and then under issues, choose screens find the screen scheme that is used for the epic issuetype and add the epic status if it does not already exist. once this field is in place, you can go to any epic and change the epic status to done. Again the epic status is not the same as the issue status so both should be set to done if you wish to have the epic considered closed and not in the epic link drop-down.

you may wish to create an automation rule that will set the epic status to done anytime the Epic’s Issue Status is transition to Done. If memory serves, there is a template in the Automation library for this already.

Hi @Pavan Kumar ,

please check to see that the epic is set to Done which is different from the issue status field.
