Hi @paul,

We’ve [extended this deprecation’s grace period by 6 months](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/deprecation-of-the-epic-link-parent-link-and-other-related-fields-in-rest-apis-and-webhooks/54048/78) to **Nov, 30 2022**. Closer to that date, we will make it possible to disable the old functionality for the partners who requested it. We will post a comment in the original announcement’s thread once this becomes available.

Please be assured that if we feel that there’s not enough time for the Marketplace partners to test their apps with the old fields removed, we will extend the grace period even further.

Thanks,  
Konstantin
