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.

You can write your own automation THEN action (if such add-on don't already exist in Marketplace – or engage an Atlassian Expert to do it).

Here are some relevant developer documentation:

• Writing remote automation THEN action: https://developer.atlassian.com/jiracloud/guide-implementing-automation-actions-41223090.html
• JSD add participant REST API: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-servicedesk/REST/cloud/#servicedeskapi/request/{issueIdOrKey}/participant-addRequestParticipants

Update:

There's also a JSD feature request for this: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSD-1530 with some KB workaround and discussion. Feel free to participate / vote .
