Updating the parent field to an epic returns Premium subscription error

[David Schovanec]

Hello,

we are working on implementing changes mentioned in this deprecation of Epic Link, Parent Link... document

https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/deprecation-of-the-epic-link-parent-link-and-other-related-fields-in-rest-apis-and-webhooks/54048

And we reached an error that does not make sense. The situation is when I wanna connect Epic and Task together. When creating an Epic and then Task with

{ parent: epicIssueId }

the API works seamlessly and the Task issue is created with the correct Epic link.

But when creating Task first and later wanna update it with the same API payload it returns an error

You need to have Premium subscription to set parent to an issue of this type

I have a regular Jira cloud created for testing purposes. It is blank and does not have any specific configuration. Also, internet is quite silent about this :)

The second question is about using the greenhopper API. In some cases we called the API:

PUT /rest/greenhopper/1.0/epics/#{epic_issue_key}/add

I was not able to find if this API will be supported or not and what is its destiny in the context of Cloud Jira.
