Atlassian Update

Looking through this ticket and comments, it seems to mention the ability to link Parent issue that is not epic. After the release of the Parent field in Jan/Feb 2024, this field can be used to link such issues. More details here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-articles/Introducing-the-new-Parent-field-in-company-managed-projects/ba-p/2377758#M1320

This should be resloved by the Parent field release.

However, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any further questions

Creating a new custom field similar to Epic Link to be able to setup any kind of linking with other issue type, and be able to search on it.
