If I close the Epic what will happen to the stories under it?

Question

I have an Epic with multiple stories/tasks, only three are open. What will happen to the open ones if I close the Epic?

@Zulfiqar Ali Shah Kazmi , if you close the epic, the stories will have the same status and are still linked.

Thanks @Fabian Lim

So if the Epic is closed, the stories/issue under it will remain open but will be orphans?

Hi @Zulfiqar Ali Shah Kazmi

Welcome to the community!

Nothing should happen out of the box, unless you have some automation that closes all stories/tasks linked to the epics.
