I have an Epic issue linked a child work item (Service Request) that I cannot unlink, it doesn't have an icon to Unlink.

Appreciate any guidance.  

Thanks,

Hi @Olimpia Estela Cáceres-Brown 

If you click into the linked issue, on the right hand side in the details panel, near assignee / Reporter. You should see the "Parent" field. 

This should have the EPIC in it, if you remove the EPIC, it should unlink the issue. 

Please let me know if that works, if not a screenshot of the linked issues right hand side panels would be great, obscure an info you don't want people to see. 

Thanks

Aaron.

Hi Aaron

Thank you so much for putting me on the right track.  I oversaw this field… right-hand side Panel.

Great to hear this quick respond from a supporting community!

Best regards,
