@Ushna Sarfaraz Not sure if below would be applicable in your scenario. However, one way to achieve the same result is to create a risk in JIRA. JIRA can be customised to allow creation of risks (similar to defect, bug, task or story). This risk can then have a set severity of the risk as applicable. Finally, if the risk creation is feasible on your end you may just link it to the epic/feature.
Please note that this customization may an enterprise only feature.

Hi @Ushna Sarfaraz , welcome to the community.

So if you add a field that is of type single select, then you could add the risk values to that field. Then, when the epic is created, or maybe risk assessed after the fact, the proper value could be selected. I don't know what you mean by a risk being open or closed. Risk is obviously quite subjective, so choosing the values it's really up to you and your team.
