Can other issue-types appear in the GreenHopper 'Epics' panel?

[Alex Taylor]

Or to put it another way, what is it about the 'Epic' issue-type that tells GreenHopper to put it in this panel? It can't be its name, as I can rename 'Epic' to anything I like and it still works.

We have a need to set up two projects, one which uses an issue-type called 'Requirement' and one which uses 'Epic'. We would like to be able to have both issue-types show up in the 'Epics' panel on the Rapid Boards. Can it be done? :-)

We're on JIRA 5.2.4 and GreenHopper 6.1.1.

Not possible, the code picks up just one issue type in the property entry tables.

[Alex Taylor]

Thanks, that's what I suspected :-(

Apologies for the necro-post, but if people are still interested (and still happy to wait), see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/GHS-9455

I'd still avoid renaming epics to something else, but a change of description, inline translation and changing workflows are all ok now.

[Evgeniy Stepchenko]

Ok. Can we rename Epic for something else and assign custom workflow to it? Will it broke something?

[Matthew Rowen]

Are there any plans to fix this? We have a legacy project in Jira with issues that we'd like visible in the EPICs panel without having to convert the issues to the Epic issue type.

This is by design, so I don't anticipate it being changed.

[John Garcia]

I can tell you that the magic numbers are stored in these property keys...

[Alex Taylor]

Sorry, I've no idea what I'm looking at there...
