Copy User Story to Create Epic

You can create an epic from a user story by copying the information from the user story into the epic. The values from the user story become the default values for the epic. You can change all of these values for the epic except the product.

The user story becomes the child of this new epic by default. If the user story is already a child of another epic, then it is unlinked from the other epic and linked to the new epic.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the user story that you want to copy to an epic from the Backlog page.

    The User Story Detail page appears.

  2. Click Copy to Epic.

    The Edit Epic page appears.

  3. Edit the appropriate fields and click Save.
