How to show epic 'Mark as done' in backlog

[Frédéric Gay]

[Jira Cloud] 

Hello,

In the backlog I used the Epic drop down to 'Mark as done' some Done Epics.

They aren't displayed anymore but I'd like to show them back.

Mirek in the following thread said:

'Then you should not see this on the list unless you click "Show done epics" in the drop down list'

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/How-do-you-remove-a-closed-JIRA-epic-for-the-list-of-Epic-links/qaq-p/743615

However I can't see this option anywhere.

Is there a way to get those 'Marked as done' Epics back into the backlog ?

Many thanks,

Frederic.

Hi,

If you don't see the field 'Epic Status' on the epic, you will need to add it to the screen scheme being used by the epic to be able to edit. You can then remove it again to avoid user confusion.

Happy Trails,
