Remove an issue from an Epic

Question

Using Jira with GreenHopper.

The issue is not visible on the SCRUM board because it was closed in a past sprint. The issue should not have been added to the Epic in the first place. We want to keep our Epics clean and remove tasks that do not concern it, even after closing them.

The only way to remove a task from an Epic, as far as I understand it, is to do it from the SCRUM board, in the 'Work' view, in the right side task detail-at-a-glance panel, by clicking the [X] button in the Epic's label.

Considering that:

• The issue is not displayed in the SCRUM board;
• We do not have access to the server to perform SQL (and wouldn't want to go down that path);

Then:

• Is there a way to remove the task from the Epic from
• --> The Epic issue screen?
• --> The issue screen (the issue in the Epic)?
• Is there a way to actually display a closed/past issue in the SCRUM board?
• Is there any other way of achieving my goal I wouldn't have mentioned here?

Answer 1

I think you can add the Epic Link field to an edit screen for the issue in question and then edit the issue as usual in JIRA, not JIRA Agile
