How can I add "Epic" field label to appear on my Issues ( User stories) in back log

How can I add "Epic" field label to appear on my Issues ( User stories) in back log and my current sprint board?

Hi Edward - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The field is called Epic Link. Just edit the screen to add it.

John,

Thanks for the response.  I want to add the "Epic Name" field to the "Issue " Screen.   I click the "Configure"  widget at the bottom and move it to the "visible " Description fields area and I save.  However I do not see it on the screen.   What step did I leave out?

Thanks,

Edward

You cannot add the Epic Name to regular issues. You have to use the Epic Link field.

OK. So I link to a spreadsheet that has the epic names in them?

Thx.

No, there is a field called Epic Link that you need to add to your screen.
