Question about epic link soon being replaced with parent

[Anjan Mujanovic]

Hi all,

We have received a notification about epic link soon being replaced with parent.

See image:

Can someone please help with the following questions regarding this update:

• How to prepare for this change?
• What is the impact of this if nothing is done in preparation?
• Is there any documentation for this change in specific? (I am having a hard time finding it)

My apologies for these most likely rookie questions, as I am still getting used to the Atlassian products.

Thank you in advance for any help offered.

Best regards,
Anjan

JIRA has "mail handlers" which process incoming mail.  They do not currently have one that sets fields like that.

There are some in the marketplace which can do this, and a lot more.  The two that spring to mind are JEMH and JETI, but thre may be others.  It's also possible to write your own.
