Now you can FINALLY rename your Epics in Jira Software!

Atlassian has finally rolled out the changes to Epics, so you can change the name of your epics to anything you want. As an added bonus, they are now giving both standard and free licenses of Jira the ability to create issue hierarchy above the Epic level. This was previously only available for Premium and Enterprise customers!

This change was first announced back in December 2021 (https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-articles/Upcoming-Rename-epics-in-your-company-managed-projects/ba-p/1874726) and since then it has gone through several revisions and delays where we for example got the new Parent field and several underlying changes to how Epics worked. This included changes to Epic name and Epic links, which rolled out last year.

As of February 14th however, this change is finally here, and you can rename your Epics AND you can now scale your issue hierarchy to best fit your organization need.

Now that is a gift of Love if I ever saw it!!

💝Thank you Atlassian!!
