Hi,

We have setup a "Company-managed business" Project in Jira. It seems like it is not possible to change the parent issue for an existing issue in this setup. Could you please guide me how I can enable this feature so that we can, for example, move stories in between Epics?

 

In my screenshot, the issue is part of an epic but I cannot "move" the issue under a different epic (the option is missing):

Thank you for your help

Hello @Henrik Thiess 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You will need to add the Epic Link field to the Screen for that issue type. Then you can edit that field to change the parent Epic for an issue.
