Putting the Task under Epic in List View

[Sara Palmitessa]

I cannot figure out how to put the Task under the Epic.  I created rules in the Automation section and the Tasks are listed within the Epic which is what I want.   

But when looking at the List view, each of my tasks are separate and not nested under my Epic. I feel like I have tried everything to try to put them under the Epic

> Goal: I can collapse and expand the Epic to see the Tasks in the List view

> Current Status: In the List view, the Epic and Task are not nested, so I cannot collapse or expand to get the associated tasks, (see picture - the expand arrow does not list anything underneath)

For general linking of issues, you use Substitution variables and the Link field to create a link.

JIRA Agile epic links are a bit different. You need to set the Epic Link custom field to the story key - %original_key% substitution variable. Sorry for my confusion on the question earlier.

Hi,

I have an epic and on one transition I want three issues to be created inside the epic itself. I am unable to add the epic link value to those issues because of which they are created but not linked to the epic. I need all the three issues to show as "issues in the epic" when I view the epic. The issues may be from the same project or a different one.

Thanks, Sneha

Hi,

This is a bit urgent for me. Will be helpful if you can provide me a more detailed solution to the above scenario.

I corrected the answer. I should have read the question a bit more carefully.

Thanks Bob,

I had resolved the issue using https://bobswift.atlassian.net/browse/CSOT-97.

Thank you again for the help!
