Is it possible to move a bug under an existing story?

[Francesco Mugnaini]

Is it possible, and in case how, to move an existing bug currently allocated to an epic, to a story which is part of the epic?

This is currently managed wrongly and want to move under a single story containing all bugs.

Hello @Francesco Mugnaini ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!

If it is subtask Bug then you can change the parent of that issue, but if it Standard issue type then you won't be able to move under story, instead you can use issue link and link the bug to Story.

Link issues

If there are other issues that relate to the one, you’re working on, their details could help add context. By linking two issues together, they will appear on each other’s issue view below the description. Linking issues doesn’t change the issues in any other way. You can either link an existing issue or create a new issue and link it.

To link an issue:

1. Open the issue view of the request.

2. Select Link issue ().

3. Search for an existing issue to link, or select + Create linked issue to create a new issue.

4. If you searched for an existing issue, choose how they relate to each other ("is blocked by" or "relates to," for example), then select Link.

5. If you created a new linked issue, fill in the issue create form, then select Create.

1. Create linked issue link.

2. Search for an existing issue.

Regards,
Mayur

And I would add that depending on the bug you *might* want to link it as "blocking" the original story, or in many cases you might instead want to accept the story (i.e. move to DONE) and link the bug simply as "discovered while testing" that original issue for example.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There's a three layer hierarchy here, and it's important to be clear about where things are in it.

1. Epic is the top level
2. Base level issues are the day-to-day work items
3. Sub-tasks are fragments of their parent issues

There is a quirk in here in that Epics can have sub-tasks as well as containing base-level issues.

So, we need to know what level your "bug" issue type is - base level or sub-task?

• If it is a sub-task of the Epic, then you can use "change parent" to select the base-level issue you want to move it under.
• If it is a base-level issue, then you will have to use "convert to sub-task" and name the base-level issue you want to move it under.
