A promoted issue's status badge does not communicate the promotion or include a link to the corresponding epic.

Problem to solve

When an issue is closed by promotion to an epic, its status badge says "Closed" and does not include a link to the corresponding epic.

status-closed-by-promotion

This differs from an issue that is closed by moving, for which the status badge says "Closed (moved)" and includes a link to the new location.

Intended users

This affects anyone who happens upon an issue that has been promoted to an epic.

Further details

Linking the promoted issue badge to the epic would offer convenience and it would be more consistent with what is done for moved issues.

Proposal

Change "Closed" to "Closed (promoted)" and link to the corresponding epic.
