Are you working with a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project? It will say at the bottom of the navigation pane on the left.

The replies from @Vishwas and @Joshua Sneed Contegix  are relevant only if you are working with a Company Managed project.

If you are working with a Team Managed project then you add an existing issue to an existing Epic with one of these methods:

1. When viewing the issue, click the Add Epic link in the bread crumbs.

2. From the board's Backlog screen drag the issue from the issue list and drop it on the Epic shown in the Epics pane.

Hey @Lydia Rogers 

You need to edit "Epic Link" field to add the epic in story issue.

Hi Lydia,
The Story screens need to have the Epic Link field added them and populated. Populating this field on standard issue types with the value from an Epic's Epic Name field will place the issues in the Epic. Cheers!
