How to link an issue in a non-'next-gen' project to an epic in a 'next-gen' project?

[Deleted user]

We want to make use of the new roadmap features in a next-gen project. However we cant link issues to epics from other non-'next-gen' projects. From the next-gen project is seems you can only create new child issues or link existing ones already defined in the same next-gen project.

If we try to link the child issue from the project in which its exists then when you search for the epic it displays its name as 'unlabelled-KEY-01'. If you attempt to link to it then you get the error - Issue 'KEY-1' must be of type 'Epic

This issue seems similar to the following bug https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/GHS-11025 which is fixed in JIRA Agile 6.6. Which JIRA Agile version are you currently using ?

Even I am using the JIRA Agile version 6.6.13 with the JIRA version 6.3.11 and facing a similar issue. Do you think updating from JIRA Agile version 6.6.13 to 6.6.51 will resolve the issue? Regards, Rahul Savaikar
