Hi,

Have linked my stories to epics but currently cannot see the linked epic in the user story.

In the old version of Jira I could see this field in a user story.

Any idea?

Thanks

I'd also really like to know how to add this to a Task. You used to be able to see/easily change the epic link for a task/story but now it's way more onerous.

Edit: So it turns out you can actually still adjust the epic link but it's super unintuitive. Dunno if Atlassian actually monitors these issues but you should rethink the UX on this issue.

To change the Epic, you just need to hover over the epic name and a little edit symbol will pop up. You can see this in the screenshot below:

Again, unless you hover over the name, you'd never know this option was there. Also I still don't really care for the epic name being so opaque and teeny. It'd be nice if you could add it as a drop down to the template, like you used to be able to do.

Hello,

I believe that you can see the link in boards:

Thanks Alexey,

I'm looking to see it on the story itself, used to be able to see it in the old version of Jira.

Cheers,

Ziv

@Ziv Ariel It's probably not the solution you're looking for, but once you have task open, on the top left you'll see a breadcrumb in which you'll find epic number.
