JSM Datacenter Adding Issues to Epics

[Lance Li]

Hi Team,

One of the users was asking if we can have this Cloud version feature in our Data Center Version, but when I checked, I found there's no such configuration we can set it up, based on the article here: https://www.jirastrategy.com/adding-issues-to-epics/, the user wanted the same or maybe similar way to archive the function.

Any suggestions on this? What I can think of is to set up new linked status as parent/child (is parent to/is child to), then they can link the tickets manually.

Hi @Lance Li ,

On the cloud, this is basically a 'visualization' of parent/child relationship if we're looking at the top part of the issue stating Projects / <PROJECT-NAME> / Epic / Story. I believe this is not visible in the DC version (I haven't been using that platform for some time now), but it actually replicates Parent <> Child (ex. Epic Link <> Child) relation. Here are the official support docs on that topic: Upcoming changes: 'epic-link' replaced with 'parent' 

Again, for DC it's probably 'classic' Epic Link field it's just not visualized that way.

As for whether this is planned for DC as well, you could take a look at open suggestions or potentially reach out to Atlassian Support to check with them to see if there are any plans to roll this out on the on-prem platform.

Cheers,
Tobi
