To clarify, that 'Show done issues' triggers off of the 'Epic Status' field, not the Status field, so it may not behave exactly as you'd expect.

Hi @Vishnu Vardhan Chenna

A few simple checks to start with...

* Is this a Company-managed or Team-managed Project?* Team-managed Projects must use an Epic from within that single Project - cross-Project parent/child relationships only work in Company-managed

* Do you have access to both Projects? And does this include edit/link access?
* Can you select other Epic(s) as the parent? Or do all Epics not work?

On a side note. If the epic you're looking for is in a (different) team managed project, this won't work. In team managed projects, you can only link issues to epics from the same project.
