    Description

      Issue Summary

      Scenario 1:

      When converting an issue linked to an Epic to a sub-task, if you set the parent to be the Epic, this will allow users to add sub-tasks to Epics directly.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Jira Software project
      2. Create an Epic and some stories
      3. Make the stories children of the Epic
      4. Access one of the stories and convert it to a sub-task
      5. In the select parent step, add the issue key of the Epic

      Scenario 2:

      When converting an Issue with subtasks to an Epic, the subtasks are shown in the Epic and allows users to create new subtasks.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Story and some subtasks in it
      2. Convert Story to Epic

      Expected Results

      Jira blocks the user to move forward and warns the user that an Epic shouldn't have a sub-task

      Actual Results

      Jira allows the Epic to be the sub-tasks' parent and this enables the view to add more sub-tasks to the Epic

      Workaround

      Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
