Next-Gen Project - Bulk edit Epic Link fails

[michael ryan]

When I try to Bulk Edit an Epic Link.  I get this "unlabeled-id-42"  or 43 or whatever problem.  It shows me these items as Epics but won't use them in the Bulk Edit assignment.

The Epic appears in other locations but won't work in the Bulk Edit menu.

Turns out there is a bug for this, it can be tracked here.
It also shows a workaround

Ok, I see, thank you.

I'll try to reproduce it in my environment, see what happens, and get back to you with the results.

I removed "Accepted Answer" mark from this message. Seems like it's been put there by a mistake.

[michael ryan]

Thanks .  I find the "Accept Answer" button very confusing.  I can't tell the state of anything based on the green button.  Thanks for fixing this.

[Grigory Salnikov]

Yes, this is the issue Atlassian currently has been working on :)

Hi ,

was there any update on this, it's making it hard to manage these types of changes.

Jira epics seem to stop short of being useful, Is there any progress or ETA on these features:

Bulk epic assignment:

As a BA I want to assign multiple stories to a single epic in one hit.

Epic assigning from any story editing page:

As a team member When editing a story I want to easily assign or change the epic.

Still no update on this? 
I am tearing my hair out, please can you allow us to bulk add issues to an Epic in the default software project, it's insane we cannot do this, or that we cannot find out how to do this. 

[Grigory Salnikov]

Hi!

What are other options in the dropdown list where unlabeled-ID-42 is shown now?

[michael ryan]

unlabeled-ID-43

unlabeled-ID-44

the IDs of the only other 2 Epics that exist currently.

[Grigory Salnikov]

Hi again!

I've finished my research and can confirm this behavior. I received just the same error message:

I don't actually know what's the reason for it. I have a clue that it has something to do with the fact that there seems to be no "Epic link" field in the issue detail view and you cannot change an Epic, you can just create the issue inside the Epic in Roadmap view:

It's almost like the Epics above are not your usual or real  Epics, I don't know...

This is, at least, what I've managed to accomplish, I can only guess because I've just started to look into NG projects. I may be missing something as well so let's see what other members of the Community have to say regarding this issue.

I wish I were more helpful.

[Grigory Salnikov]

A little follow-up. All this behavior is strange because we are offered to choose from, as they call it, "matching epics", "suggestions" :)

There's definitely something wrong with it.
