Hi Community, 

I want to set the Name of Epic Name field to Feature Name in Jira Cloud. 

I am able to set names of system fields and other custom fields by using this scriptrunner cloud example library:

https://www.scriptrunnerhq.com/help/example-scripts/change-display-of-priority-field-cloud

I tried multiple options for Epic Name field in 

getFieldById - but facing errors. 

Please guide on how to call Epic Name in scriptrunner cloud behavior and then setName for Epic Name. 

Thanks

Hello @Digvijay Singh 

The Epic Name field has been deprecated Jira Cloud. While it still exists in the system, Jira no longer requires it to be completed for Epics. Where the Epic Name field content was displayed previously, now the Summary field content for the Epic will be displayed.

Can you provide more information about your continued use of the field?

Thank you @Trudy Claspill for your message. And for sharing the mentioned link. 

My use case is, I want to use Epic Name field in my Scriptrunner cloud behavior, and if possible, how to set the Name of Epic Name field to something else as per requirement. 

For example, I am able to use Parent Link field by passing a syntex as

getFieldById("parent"). setName("Something else") 

So, please guide further on how to call Epic Name in Scriptrunner cloud behavior and how to set it's name to something else. 

Thanks

Per the vendor documentation for supported fields for Behaviours, the Epic Name field in not included. Therefore I don't believe there is a supported method for you to modify the name shown for the field.
