Logging Dev Board Story and Task to Epic When Creating Ticket

[Vladislav Nivorozhkin]

You can assign a bug ticket to an "Epic Link"  when creating the ticket in the Dev board. However, is there a way to allow users to do this for story and task tickets, without having to drag tickets to an epic after logging them?

Hello @Vladislav Nivorozhkin 

Welcome to the community.

Are you working with a Company Managed (classic) project or a Team Managed (next gen) project?

It should be possible to do this in either. You just have to make sure the Epic Link field is available on the Create Screen for each type of issue.

Hello, this is a company managed project.

In that case, there is an Issue Type Screen Scheme assigned to the project which includes the screens that are used for different actions (i.e. Create and Edit) for each issue type in the project. There might be one screen used for all actions for all issue types, or different screens. The JIRA Administrator will need to ensure the Create screen for the Story and Task issues includes the Epic Link field.

The JIRA Administrator should also look at the Field Configuration Scheme for the project. Like the above scheme, the Field Configuration Scheme is used to specify what fields will be available to the different issue types. The field must be included in the Field Configuration(s) that apply to those issue types also.
