Jira Align lets us define “Epics;” but can we customize and rename them?

Say to something like "Portfolio Epics" instead of just "Epics."

Also- would this change any existing functionality of Epics in Jira Align?

@Rishabh Kochhar Yes, your SuperAdmin can rename Epics as well as most other things such as Features, Program Increments, Release Vehicles, Yearly Goals, etc.

@Rishabh Kochhar as for customizing Epics, most of the fields can be hidden or made required, some can be renamed and you can add a few custom fields.  The different tabs that are made available can be controlled on a System Role basis.  So RTE can see different tabs than the Product Owner.

Great! Thanks so much for this detailed and quick reply, @Allan Maxwell ! :D
