I want to create an Epic for a business requirement that impacts multiple projects.
Each project needs stories linked to this Epic.
Is this possible to do?
Thanks.
Hi Cathy,
Yes, Epics can be linked to issues across multiple projects no matter what project the Epic was created against.
Thanks John!
Hi John,
Our requirement is also exactly same but with the help of either any app integrated in JIRA or via Rest API's. is there a way to do so since creating dependent tickets on epic is so time consuming that we are looking to automate the same.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks in advance,
Shravani Pandarmish.
Hi Shravani - Can you create a new question for the community for this? I will get a lot more attention that way. I will answer there also. But the quick answer is yes, automation for Jira can do that for you.
Here's some information to get you started:
There are two types of automation:
Automation Basics: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/expand-jira/automation
You can do this via global rules to apply to all projects also. You'll need to be a Jira Admin/Site Admin, go to Jira Settings > System > Automation Rules (left-hand menu).
For more on using Automation For Jira see these help pages.
Hi, I also need this functionality described at the beginning. But for me it doesn't work. I create a story in a specific project A. I want to link it to an epic that exists already in a different project B, but can only select epics that exist in my current project A. Can you please help?
Hi Katja - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
You should always create a new question in the Community so more people will see and and can help.
Hey @John Funk, could you help us understand how we are supposed to do that? It's impossible on my side to link tickets from different Projects to one Epic...
Using next-gen projects.
Ah, no you won't be able to do that with Next-gen (Team-managed) projects. Sorry about that. :-(
