I'm having a problem, when I go to my Kanban (company managed) Project Backlog to try and create an EPIC, I select the '+ Create Issue' button at the end of the backlog, but 'EPIC' is not an option in the selection list.  So essentially I cannot create an EPIC in this backlog. 

I've looked at Issue Types, Schemes, Screens but I can't seem to figure this out.

Hello, Good day. From the Kanban board backlog enable the "Epic" option and then you will get this option to create "Epic".

Hi @Mohanraj Thangamuthu 

The "trick" to make what you describe work is the feature to enable the epic panel also controls that slider at the bottom of the epic drop-down from the backlog.

The feature to enable the epic panel is now located at:

... menu > Board settings > Columns and Status > Epics on your board > Enable Epic Panel

Kind regards,
Bill
