Can't linking the issue of classic project to the Epic issue of next-gen project

Nick Ivlev January 14, 2019

Hi,

We are faced with the problem of linking the task of the classic project to Epic in the nex-gen project.

Case:
Project A - classic
Project B - next-gen

I try fill field (EPIC LINK) of Task of Project A http://take.ms/yqyXl and select Epic from Project B. In select item showed as unlabelled http://take.ms/agsgI and after select and save I receive error:
Issue 'PLPAY-141' must be of type 'Epic' (http://take.ms/pEwvk)
But in Project B PLPAY-141 it is Epic issue from Roadmap

What am I doing wrong?

Hello @Nick Ivlev

Currently, it's not possible to link classic project issues to Epics belonging to next-gen projects.

@Emily Chan, I can provide one use case where we have the exact same issue. We have a bunch of classic projects with lots of tasks and bugs. Due to reason that conversion from classic to next-gen will drop certain items from tasks, we cannot do conversion. We really would like to utilize next-gen project's roadmap feature. Epics that we want to maintain in next-gen project contains work from different teams that are using classic projects but this combination seems to be impossible.
