      Problem Definition

      Currently, JIRA does not support ExternalID based configuration when user would like to configure Epic Link from Epic and Story. The reason for this is because the ExternalID option only available for regular issue relation (Eg: Task -> sub-task).

      Since Epic Link is a customfield, same configuration like ExternalID does not work it.

      Suggested Solution

      Allow ExternalID support for Epic Link so users can use similar configuration as Task -> Sub-task relation while mapping Epic -> Story using Epic Link

      Workaround

      User parameter like below to map Epic and Story:

      {
        "fieldName" : "Epic Link",
        "fieldType" : "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-epic-link",
        "searcherType" : "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-epic-link-searcher",
        "value" : "SSPC-60"
      },
