      Notes

      Partial Workaround

      If you don't have many epics, you can bulk edit the issue, one search per epic. For example, if you have these epics with these stories:

      • Epic: ABC-1: Epic Name: My Epic 1
        • Story in Epic ABC-1: ABC-2, Epic Link: My Epic 1
        • Story in Epic ABC-1: ABC-3, Epic Link: My Epic 1
      • Epic ABC-4: Epic Name: My Epic 2
        • Story in Epic ABC-4: ABC-5, Epic Link: My Epic 2

      It's possible to:

      1. Import the 'Epic Name' to 'Epic Name', as expected
      2. Create a new text field (My Epic Link)
      3. Import 'Epic Link' to this text field (My Epic Link)
      4. For each Epic, search for stories with the Epic Link, for example
        'My Epic Link' = 'My Epic 1'
        
      5. Bulk edit it to change the 'Epic Link' to 'My Epic 1'
