Moving an issue that does not belong to any epic to the epic I've just created

[Irene Orr Konovalov]

Hi,
I have an issue that has been open without being related to any of the epics. Now I've created a new epic and I want to relate that issue to the new epic. How am I supposed to do it? I don't want to move the issue to another project.

Thanks,
Irene

Hi @Irene Orr Konovalov , 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community. 

You can edit the orphan issue and under Epic Link field put the Epic issue key then it will be linked with the Epic

Hello @Irene Orr Konovalov 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

With what type of project are you working? You can find that information in the Type column on the "View all projects" page available under the Projects menu.

The "Epic Link" field that @Manoj Gangwar mentioned works if you are using a Company Managed Software or Work Management project, assuming the field has been included on the issue screen. That field does not work if you are using a Team Managed project.
