      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Portfolio Cloud. Using JIRA Portfolio Server? See the corresponding bug report.

      When issues are imported into JIRA Portfolio that include Epics, the title of the Epic is written from the summary of the Epic. When a synchronization is done from JIRA Portfolio back to the JIRA Agile, the imported portfolio epic title overwrites the epic name.

      Expected Behavior
      When the synchronization happens JIRA Portfolio should not be overwriting the Epic name with the portfolio epic title.

            Hello mlavender,

            you are right, currently, Portfolio sets both, Epic name and Epic summary to the epic title configured in Portfolio. Some customers may want to keep the Epic name in sync while others prefer to use the Epic summary, or even both. As of today, Portfolio only provides one field for managing the name of an Epic, i.e., JIRA Epic name and summary are mapped to the same field in Portfolio.

            This also goes for syncing from JIRA to Portfolio - if you turn on summary synchronization for Epics (Plan > Configure > Synchronization) and change the name of a linked Epic in JIRA, the title in Portfolio will be set to the new name. If you change the summary of this Epic in JIRA, the title of the epic in Portfolio will be set to the new summary.

            I created a suggestion for allowing to manage Epic name and Epic summary independently which then also allows to update them independently and closed this issue.

            Best regards,
            Albert
