Adding a Parent Link to an EPIC issue

[Carolyn Barbierato]

Hi

I have added another hierarchy (called "Initiative") and have followed the steps by adding the initiative issue type to my board and have also added it at the Level 1 hierarchy level above Epic in the Hierarchy organization screen.   I now need to add a Parent Link field to the screen that Epics use which will allow me to set the Epic as a child of the Initiative.  Does anyone have specific instructions for adding Parent Link field? 

Thanks very much

Kind Regards

Carolyn

Hi @Carolyn Barbierato 

Parent Link field is created automatically, please follow the below

• Go to your Project Settings > Screens
• Under the Epic issue type, click to add a field to the screen. Depending on if you've separated your Issue type screen scheme
• Search for the Parent Link field and add it
• Navigate to the Issue view and search for the Initiative under the Parent Link to associate it.

I have done all of the above steps and when I look at my parent link drop down it contains initiatves from other projects and portfolio features from other projects but none of my initiatives - is there a setting somewhere that I have missed?
