If an issue is a sub-task of an epic, it does not show the epic link in its issue view.
Is this something that is configurable? I'd really like to see the epic link for everything that is in that epic's hierarchy.
Hello @Eugene Dementiev
Currently, epic link custom field doesn't seem to be available for the issue types in the next-gen projects nor is the field supported by next gen projects
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17239
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17389
If you see in the above screenshot, it lists the fields which we can configure (including certain types of custom fields) but there is no epic link field which can be added on the story or on the sub-task
Also, please note that "Epic link" field is only available for issues which are added to epics in the epic view by clicking on the "plus" sign. If you have a sub-task added to an epic it will never show the epic link in the issue view of itself because the relationship between sub-task and epic is that of parent-child relationship just like story-subtask and not the "epic link" relationship.
As these 2 are completely different relationships in Jira (Epic-Story link (epic link)) And (Parent - child) relationships
That's disappointing that no bright clue is visible for epic sub tasks when viewing them..
Having the parent reference of a sub-task visible in the issue navigator view is an open ticket
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-16589
When viewing the sub-task you do see the parent's issue key in the listing, the issue key of parent is listed just before the sub-task's issue key
This would be a great feature to have on NGP. I have to make a task and then manually open it again on backlog which isn't ideal.
If you can see your subtask in your backlog, just try to drag them
Hi,I have another question: how can i delete a story/task from an epic?
@Tarun Sapra Is there any update on this issue? I am still unable to see Epic Link in my story and task
