How do you remove a closed JIRA epic for the list of Epic links?

[Paul White]

I read the similar questions and work around from 2 years ago but no solution has been proposed.  This is still very annoying to my team as we work through several closed Epics.  The list will continue to grow as we go froward and will become even more annoying.  Once the Epic is closed (and all related stories closed), how do we not see that Epic link when creating a new story?

We have reasons for keeping all closed stories and epics avail and the copy it off to a backup workaround is not acceptable to our team.  Thank you very much.

If I have understood the main part of the question, then it sounds like there's a broken assumption somewhere.  JIRA Software lets you choose between burning down on time and story points (or in fact, any numeric field you want).  But not both, because that's not possible (unless you run with "1SP = fixed length of time", which is wrong, of course)

That setting is in the board configuration, in the estimation tab.

On the follow-up question - have a look through https://jira.atlassian.com - that's where new features are raised, voted, etc.
