Hi all,
JIRA offers a possibility to link an issue (task, new feature, …) to an Epic. Is it possible to get these links thru JIRA Cloud rest API? From what I’ve seen in https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/cloud/, there is nothing on this, but I may be wrong…
Thank you all,
Fred
Not sure which direction you’re doing @frederictardieu. You can get all the issues linked to an epic with https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/REST/cloud/#agile/1.0/epic-getIssuesForEpic
You can get the epic linked to an issue by using the JIRA Software REST API resource for the issue, https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/REST/cloud/#agile/1.0/issue-getIssue
Hi @dmeyer,
Well you got my question right. When editing an issue, there is a possibility to link it to other issue(s) (point 1 in attached screenshot), and to an Epic (point 2 in attached screenshot).
So seems API endpoint epic-getIssuesForEpic does the job corresponding to point 2, and that’s what I was looking for,
Thanks!

Hi @frederictardieu,
Internally in JIRA, the Epic Link is a custom field, not an issue link. Using issue links for epics won’t work.
