How to Add Epic Link to Jira Ticket

Quick summary

Adding an Epic Link to a Jira ticket connects an existing issue to a parent Epic directly from the Issue View. This lets teams organize work under the right Epic without recreating or moving tickets.

Steps

1. Open your Jira account and select a project from the project list.
2. Click your preferred issue to open it in the Issue View.
3. At the top of the Issue View, click the 'Add Epic' button — this is the only way to link an existing issue to an Epic.
4. After clicking 'Add Epic', select your preferred Epic from the dropdown list.
5. That's it — you have successfully added the Epic Link to your Jira ticket.
