Cannot view Epics on Deployments page in Jira

[Victor Hearn-Yeates]

On our teams jira page, there's a tab to view deployments, that shows every ticket and to what environment it's been deployed to. On this page there are available ticket 'types' to show, which seem to offer everything except epics. I'd like to see what environment an epic's been deployed to if possible.

Hi @Victor Hearn-Yeates - are you sure an Epic has been deployed? Presumably, this is linked to your build tools which update Jira?  You normally would deploy individual stories or bug fixes rather than a whole epic no?

[Victor Hearn-Yeates]

So normally we'd see for each ticket the environment that is was deployed on, and we can also see that for tickets made of other tickets, stories made from subtasks, etc. If my Epic's marked as 'Done' I'd hope that it appear under the deployments page. I might be misunderstanding which/how stories appear

Your build process will be tagging Jira keys as and when things happen... so they would need to also tag the epic key when its deployed... i think.  Probably need to check in with the developers.

We've got a script that looks up the epic, and adds it into the commit message. It echos it out to the console too, so I can see it getting added.

@Victor Hearn-Yeates were you able to figure out if it was possible to see epics on the Deployments page?

[Justin Darding]

@Victor Hearn-Yeates did it just work by adding the Epic issue key to the commit message? Or did you need to do something specific?

@Justin Darding this was over a year ago now, can't remember exactly if we solved it or not. We don't actually use it at all
