Jira renamed Epics

If the original Jira-"Epic" got renamed in your Jira (e.g. to "Feature"), you need to re-map this by hand. This is a common case when you try to implement a structure in Jira to use it with SAFe. To rename the Jira-"Epic" you need to have Jira-Server (in cloud it is not possible). Remapping is needed because it is not possible to reliably find this Epic issue-type via the API.

How to map the Epic

  1. In the cockpit under ALM configuration, edit your Jira configuration.
  2. Navigate to the "Team mapping" screen.
  3. Scroll down the page, you should see the following:
     

    If you did not rename you Jira Epic, you will not see this dialog. In that case you do not need to re-map at all.

  4. Select the issue-type which is the renamed Jira issue-type from the dropdown. (You do not need to click save, the change is automatically applied)


If you have a mutli-language setup, you can check your Jira fields
