Issue Summary

The Create Epic dialog allows to configure which fields are to be displayed. Unfortunately, these settings are forgotten the next time you want to create an epic.

Steps to Reproduce

Note: Our Jira is configured to require a component for each issue

• Click on "Create Epic" button / link in the Planning Board
• Fill in Epic name and summary
• Select "Create"
• You get error message: "Component/s should be modified during this transition."
• Select "Configure fields" and activate "Component/s"
• Select "Component"
• Click "Create"
• Click on "Create Epic" again

Expected Result

The Component/s field should be always displayed unless I remove it again.

Actual Results

The Component/s field is not displayed.

Workaround

There is a workaround to get the desired fields to appear when creating Epics on the Planning Board.
For this to work, it will first require us to create a field configuration and a field configuration scheme.

First, we created a new field configuration via Administration > Issues > Field configurations.
On this field configuration we can set which of our fields we want to be required. For example:

Next, create a new field configuration scheme via Administration > Issues > Field configurations schemes.
This allows us to set specific issue types to the field configuration we created in the previous step. For example:

Finally, we add the new field configuration scheme via Project Settings > Fields page like so

If you navigate to your project board and use the Create Epic button, the fields should be set:
