How can we unlock the Epic Name field? It used to work perfectly and then it got locked.
I visualize it in the Story description fields https://prnt.sc/-2lmTmvGQkON
but when I go to the field modification I see that it is locked. https://prnt.sc/nNHwkdy-6iFd
This is what i see when I go to the Epic screens https://prnt.sc/FWu9lc0HoU5F
Pls help
Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
It's been a locked field in Cloud for years. It's locked to prevent us from mis-configuring it.
I can't see anything wrong in the config screens you have shown us. Could you explain what you are trying to do that would make you want to unlock it?
Hi @WHISP Ltd - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
There are some major changes coming to the Epic Name field, so I would start looking for the alternative anyway. Here is some more information.

Hi there an thanks for your answer. Probably I am not asking the right waySo I used to be able to define the epic so we could sort out our tasks in the completed sprint history but not anymorehttps://prnt.sc/5dmCf755ELUq Basically the 2 tasks above have an epic defined and the one below doesn't let me see this optionThanks a lot for looking into this!
It is strange as I used to be able to assign different epics to the different tasks https://prnt.sc/5dmCf755ELUq but not anymore maybe it is not the EPIC NAME but another variable I am unable to set up since some time now. Thanks for yuor involvement
What type of project are you using? Team-managed? Company-managed? Jira Work Management?
Jira software > Company managed
Well, if you are trying to link an issue to an Epic, you use the Epic Link field and not the Epic Name field. Make sure the Epic Link field is on your screen.
