Hi Greg,

I've checked that you opened a ticket with our support related to the same question.

Currently, it's possible only to add Stories into Epics via the backlog of your board.
We have feature request suggesting the implementation of such ability:
- https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17150

Regards,
Angélica

Its really strange that a Product is released without such an important feature, expected to be used extensively! :(

Hi Angelica,

I guess Greg's question is different from https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17150.

It would help to see Epic name while browsing a ticket.

Thanks,

- Ajay.
