Possibility to add existing issues to an epic in a roadmap?

[Melle van Keulen]

I can't seem to find a wat to add existing issues from Jira to a roadmap. Anybody suggestions on how to do this?

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

If you are using a Company Managed project, edit the "Epic Link" field of the issue you want to add to the Epic, and enter there the issue key (i.e. ABC-123) of the Epic.

If you are using a Team Managed project, open the issue you want to add to the Epic and select the "Add Epic" link in the breadcrumbs at the top.

Hi @Trudy Claspill ,

Thank you for your quick response!

We use a Company Managed project. So I see that if an issue is created (e.g. task) it synchronizes automatically with the plan. But if you delete an issue from the plan, it still exists in Jira, how can you add this to the roadmap again? I can't seem to find a way of achieving this. Hope you can!

Kind regards,

In addition, not only to an epic but also for instance a (sub-)task to a feature

Hello @Melle van Keulen 

What type of Jira subscription do you have - Standard or Premium?

I have only Standard, and in that only Basic Roadmaps is available, and I don't see an option to delete an issue from a plan.

How exactly did you "delete" the issue from the plan?

@Trudy Claspill  We have premium. But it seems like a basic feature which should be available on both subsriptions.

I tried some things and did some research. Depending on what you source is, issues are synchronized immediately in the plan. IF you delete an issue from the plan, you're able to recover the issue by clicking the 3 dots above a plan > Configure > Deleted issues

In Standard plans with Basic Roadmaps, the content of the Roadmap is based on a project. There is no option to alter the source of issues for a Roadmap.

I'm glad you found the solution.
