I have some epics configured, and I see them from Issues and when I click on child Stories (the parent is properly configured).

But in the board I do not have the option to group by Epic.

Also, when I enter in Backlog, in the list there are no epic links displayed. Then, when I click on a story that has an epic, the epic link appears. But still the "Epic" dropdown says that there are no epic in my project.

when in backlog view, type the letter "e" for a shortcut to open epic panel.

It is not my case: the epic panel is empty.

Also, I do not want to see the epic as separate issues in backlog, just see them in the epic panel (which is empty) and as epic link in the stories (that appears when i select the story)

Hi @Emilio Italiano 

Are you filtering your board to show a subset of your Project's data?

If yes, you might have excluded Epics from the board. You need to include Epics in your board filter even if you are only referring to them via the Epic panel.
