"Parent link not retained when using 'Create another' during issue creation"

Question

Hello, I'm asking this question just to understand the correct way to link child issues to their parent (project, features, epics). I have a problem with the parent link on issues. I wanted to create multiple issues at the same time using the "Create another" option during issue creation, but when I set a parent link, it only applies to the first issue. For the following ones, no parent link is set.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you handle it? It makes it really impossible to do it efficiently.

It works great for tasks, bugs, stories and subtasks — I use the native Jira parent field to link them to their parent. For issue types above epic level, they are linked via Linked Work Items ("Child of")

I am going to do a 5-minute automation that will put the epics in my features. it’s annoying for the long term,

it works well when I create multiple bug tasks, or under tasks I create as much as I want. he puts it well in their parent, => but at the moment I am using Parent the native jira field.

Yes but, the parent field only concerns epics, tasks, stories, bugs and subtasks (using Jira's native parent field). For issue types above epic level, they are linked to each other via Linked Work Items (the superior is the parent, the inferior is "Child of")
