      Expected Results

      You won't be able to clone the Epic issue, but you can still add Child Issues and the Add a child issue button should appear

      Actual Results

      You won't be able to clone the Epic issue neither still add Child Issues, only Substasks. The Add a child issue button does not appear

      Workaround

      • You can still add child issues by setting the Epic Link field on the desired child issue.
      • You can remove the workflow property from the status to avoid the bug, but this will mean people can clone the issue.
