    Description

      Issue Summary

      It is possible to end up with an epic issue which is a child of another epic issue. If you start with a story (which is a child of an epic) and move this issue to a different project, you have the option to change the issue type. If you select epic, the issue in the new project retains its child-association to the original epic.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a story issue and add it to an existing epic
      2. Move the story issue to another project and change the issue type to epic
      3. Notice in the original epic issue that the new epic shows up as a child issue still

      Expected Results

      Epics should not be allowed to be children of other epics

      Actual Results

      Epic becomes child of another epic

      Workaround

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