Hello everyone

I want to make an automation rule for creating a task as a child issue from an epic.

Somehow, the Epic Link did not show any option.

there is no option when I opened the drop down

I've made sure that the Epic Link field is exist in the task screen

Thank your for your help.

I am experiencing this same issue, but not trying to create an Epic. 

- Manual Trigger

- If Issue Type = Epic

- Then: Create a new [non-Epic Issue]

Hi Muhamed,

You are trying to create an Epic and then put an Epic link on that same Epic. You can't do that - you can't have an Epic above an Epic.
