Can issues not be added to an epic if the sprint is already started?

I tried the jql and it doesn't recognize "epic link" - gives the message "Error in the JQL Query: Expecting operator but got 'link'. The valid operators are '=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>=', '~', '!~', 'IN', 'NOT IN', 'IS' and 'IS NOT'. (line 1, character 6)"

I also tried "epiclink" but that gives "Field 'epiclink' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."

I looked in the advanced searching help but there's no info about epic support in jql.

Apologies, "epic link" needs to be surrounded by quotation marks – I have amended.

Just a couple of thoughts.  Please direct me to open issues so I may vote as needed.

1. Once a story has been added to an epic, how can I remove it from an epic other than dragging it to a new epic?
2. If I view the Epic in JIRA I would expect some kind of list of associated user stories.  Much like you can see a list of linked issues or sub-tasks on the issue.
3. Is there a simple way to see all issues associated with an Epic besides using JQL??
4. Is there any purpose to assigning an Epic to a user? The related stories should likely be assigned individually, so I'm not sure there's any value with assigning an Epic. Just curious about whether there's an intended use there.
5. Is there a plan to add Epic to the Swimlane options?  That way the queries wouldn't have to be used and it would automatically create swimlanes per Epic.

Thanks and all thoughts and comments welcome!

It seems I am unable to drag the issues. Is there anything else I need to configure, or need to change about my user stories?

This is what it looks like:

As you can see, the user stories don't have the dots on the left to indicate them as draggable, and they indeed can't be dragged. When I try, it says that ranking is disabled.

Update: This was fixed by creating a new board that had ranking enabled.

We are just starting to use GH, though I've run Scrum and other Agile projects for quite a while.  Our sys admin enabled Epic in labs, re-indexed our database and did a point release upgrade from 6.0.7 (to 6.1?  6.0.8?  I don't know; does it matter?).  

In the Planning board, I see my Epics, but none of them show the count of Issues.

In this image, one can see the epic "Redo People Pages" and there should be 5 issue, 4 completed issues and 1 unestimated issues.  Also, when I select one of the epics, there are no issues visible in the backlog, although I expected to see the 1 unestimated issue.

Because we are just moving to using GH, we have an existing "state of things".  To organize tickets, they were assigned to Fix Versions.  To view them in our Product Backlog, I wrote a new filter to select everything in these specific Fix Versions.  Might that have an impact on this display?

Anyway to accomplish the same task using REST? I can't seem to update the "epic link" via rest.

Epic Link = customfield_10008

Issue = MY-1

Epic = MY-2

curl -D- -u LOGINASSWORD -X PUT --data '{"fields":{"customfield_10008":"MY-2"}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost/rest/api/2/issue/MY-1

I get the 204 No Content response as expected, but it doesn't seem to update the field. Any suggestions?

(This post basically duplicates my orginal post in 6.06 Release notes, but I thought it would be more valuable here)
Please open a story for "As a user I would like the ability to associate issues to epics from the typical create, edit, close JIRA screens, and by inheritance bulk edit (non-scrum board) so that I can modify this data from more places and retroactively apply this new data to existing epic issue relations for more accurate reporting" 
Context: The linking mechanism has changed and it was not retro-actively applied. I will need to do it manually to make the info displayed accurate and for properly reporting of the data.
To date I've yet to find a user flow for adding an epic association to a story via a JIRA screen, only via the Scrum Board (described above).
I enabled the 'Epic Link' field on all screens, but the best it will do is show the value of the field (after set via drag and drop from scrum board planning view) no form based edit-ability is available in view or edit modes that I've found to date (It also shows up in the Bulk Edit as a selectable by non-editable field).  Since the Scrum Board planning view restricts closed issues (maybe I can work around this with a custom filter) I've not found how to manually apply Issue -> Epic links using the drag and drop method for resolved work. 

Thank you!  Dan

How can I make the following 2 estimates appear on an epic shown in the agile overview "Plan":

Time spent

Remaining estimate

I can see the number of issues attached to the epic, the completed issues and the unestimated issues and the original time estimate, which is a sum of all original estimates of the issues attached to the epic.

Many thanks,

Charlotte

Is it possible to assign a story to multiple epics?

My board doesn't have Tools > Show Epic Panel. Could this be related to permissions? Afaik I'm an admin for this JIRA system.

What is the best way to complete the epic, chapter, story, task model?

It seems that Epics cannot have other epics as children? Is this true?

So you could not have the following:

EPIC1: Plant Gardens in our Neighborhood.

EPIC2: Plant Garden at house 101.

EPIC3: Plant Garden at house 102.

With EPIC 2 and 3 being a child of EPIC 1.

Hi, when adding a story to an epic (by dragging and dropping) it get's so called added to that epic and the label becomes visible.

However, when I open the Epic in the viewer, there are no links to those stories visible. Why is this?

Couple of issues -

Cannot associate an issue to an epic if no issue has yet been associated.  None of the epic fields appear on the screen, even if they are configured for all issues types and global context (all projects). 

You should be able to associate an issue to an epic at any time regardless of whether it has items in a sprint to start or not.  Epics can take several sprints and you can identify new issues as you work on it.

BTW - cannot access those GHS links referenced.  You accept the new SSO to allow access, but then, get an error that is cannot get a token.

There appears to be a bug in Greenhopper. When entering a story I enter the Epic number in the Epic/Theme field but the story does not get connected to the Epic. I can drag and drop the Story in to the Epic via the Plan page afterwards to get the connection but I should not have to do that. It would be helpful if you fix this bug. It is very confusing and I have had to help many of our Greenhopper users navigate this issue. Thanks

We want to add closed issues of closed sprints to an epic that we have full epic reports also for the past.

GHS-7899 - Getting issue details... STATUS  add closed issues of closed sprints to an epic

How can an issue be assigned to an epic when the epic is created?  Why isn't there a dropdown list (or similar) with the epic's for assignment?

I'm trying to have sub-tasks inherit the Epic from their parent stories.  I was able to do this with Components using a post-function on the create transition, but none of the Epic fields (Name, Status, Link, etc) seem to allow me to do this for Epic.  Is there a way to do this which I am somehow overlooking? 

I am using OnDemand.

Why aren't we allowed to see Subtasks of an Epic in the product backlog?  We we were able to see the subtasks in the Classic planning board but for some reason this feature doesn't work in the new Agile Scrum board.  Is there a way of getting around this so we can see the subtasks in the backlog and assing them to Sprints?

It would also be very helpful in the planning process to have the user picture on the item in the PLAN view. We have Quick Filters that are really great but it would be really great to have the picture on the issues like in the WORK view. 

Here is a use case:

You have quick filters that show which assigned stories and stories in which the user is the 'Tester', a custom field, however it is not possible to test which stories are Assigned and which are Tester stories. A picture of the Assignee would do the trick.

Hi, I have epic link added to my stories - when enter an issue, in the epic link dropdown I see the epics for my project but I also see a bunch of other epics that say 'unlabeled-ABC (ABC-44)'  ( Where ABC is not the currently selected project).

When I go to the search search for all epics in the system, there are about 12 other projects using epics.. it's just this one project's issues that are showing up in my project... where can I start looking at what's causing this?

Thx

Is it possible to assign one user story to severel Epics?
