Clean up Epic-Issue link when changing the issue type of an issue

XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Software Server. Using JIRA Software Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Epic -> Issue: Remove the epic link for all issues linked to that epic
      Issue -> Epic: Remove epic link if was previously part of an Epic
      Issue -> Subtask: Remove epic link to Epic if was linked
      Subtask -> Issue: If old issue parent had epic then link issue to epic (to be discussed if we really want this), unless the new issue type is Epic

      We shouldn't have to clean up epic label and epic color fields as these are only applicable to epics and therefore will automatically be cleared.

      Testing Notes

      Q: Make sure this plays well with the change to Epic Name field.
      A: The two are completely unrelated

      Q: What if subtasks are disabled either before or after trying to convert?
      A: Can't disable sub-tasks while there are sub-tasks in the system.

      Q: Don't forget to add the Epic Link to the subtask if the parent has one.
      A: Epics are always only linked to parent issues, not to subtasks
