Epic Name field is required on Create Issue Screen for other Issue Types
症状
When creating an issue in JIRA Software, there is an Epic Name field which has been marked as Required on the Create Issue screen, even though the currently selected issue type is not Epic.
原因
In the custom field configuration page, looking at the Epic Name custom field, we can see that its global context has been set to other issue types as well, as in this screenshot:
ソリューション
- You must first unlock the field to make it available for editing. Please follow this documentation to do so: Unlock a locked Jira Software custom field
- Once the unlock is complete, go to the Custom Fields administration page, and look for the Epic Name custom field. Click on the cogwheel icon on the most right side to bring out the dropdown menu, and select CONFIGURE. Once here, you should see a Default Configuration Scheme for Epic Name . Click on the Edit Configuration button.
- In the "Choose applicable issue types" section, there is a multi-select box with issue types inside it. Ensure that only the EPIC issue type is selected, and no other. Save the changes.
Relock your epic field, again using this documentation just performing the update command andset
managed=
'true'
instead for the field that was altered before.
