Epics not showing up in the left panel in Scrum Board

[Harri Nevanlinna]

We have a problem with the EPIC panel in the Scrum Board.

The left panel shows ONLY all issue types of type = Subtask.

All Epic-issue types are displayed in the normal backlog (on the right side). No Epics are displayed in the left panel.

When checking the configuration, we found out that Custom fields Epic Color, Epic Name and Epic Status had for some reason parameter "Issue type(s) = Subtask".

We unlocked those fields and changed the value for Issue type(s) from "Subtask" to "Epic".

However, the left panel is still showing only subtasks in our Scrum Board.

Any help appreciated.

When selecting "Create Epic" it says in the pop-up window for new Epic "Create subtask" - see picture:

I would also appreciate any updates on your plans to bring Connect to On-Premise Jira.

Thanks,

David

I'm also very interested to understand the timing around bringing Connect to JIRA On Premise. Right now we maintain two versions of our integration with JIRA and want to consolidate the two. Any insight appreciated.

In the short - medium term, P2 plugins are not going away.  Huge swathes of what people consider to be "core" JIRA (i.e. what you get when you just download, install and run JIRA without adding anything) is written as P2 plugins.  That's not going away for a long time.

Secondly, Connect and P2 plugins are very different beasts.  A P2 plugin effectively has access to the core of Jira, it "runs" within JIRA and can do almost anything inside the application.  Connect plugins run outside JIRA effectively and don't have anywhere near the level of access to the internals.  You've got a lot more freedom with Connect plugins because you are not bound to the internal JIRA API, but equally, you don't have direct access to the internals.
