I need to link a lot of epics, stories to 1 epic for tracking

David McCann

I am using an initiative EPIC to track work at a macro level. However I am unable to link all Jira epics, stories, bugs etc to this particular Initiative. There is over 100 items to link and I have 12 initiatives. I can locate all the items under a filter search but I cannot link them to the initiative.

Hello,

You can't link that in bulk under filter search/issue navigator.

Try setting up the automation rule for that

• Go to Project Settings > Automation 

• Create a New Rule:

  • Choose a Trigger (e.g., Scheduled or Manual Trigger).
  • Add a JQL Condition (e.g., project = XYZ AND status = "To Do").

• Link Issues:

  • Add an "Link Issues" action.
  • Define the link type and specify the target issue using JQL or smart values.

• Save and Enable the Rule.
