Linking Atlas Goal and story issue type

Question

I’m unable to link goals directly from a story issue; however, I can add a story issue from a goal. After doing so, the goal appears on the Jira goals screen.

According to the Atlas configuration, linking is only possible between epics and goals. Is this the expected behavior? I’m a bit confused. 😅

Thanks.

Thank you for your comment. Good catch. I use goals through platform experiences. I’ve also tried the same operation on another instance via Atlas, and the result is the same. I can link the goal to sub-tasks.

Just to clarify, are you using goals via platform experiences or via Atlas?

Hi @Dave Mathijs

Thanks for your comment. Linking to only epic issue types is reasonable. However, we can link all issue types on the goal screen. So, I'm confused. I would like the goal should not accept subtasks or stories.
