How to set up and validate locally

  1. Enable feature flag namespace_level_work_items
  2. Create an epic (Epic A) in a group and two epics (Epic B and Epic C) in a different group
  3. Visit Epic A using the work item view, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:3000/groups/GROUP_PATH/-/work_items/EPIC_A_IID and use the Epic B's legacy URL to add it as a child
  4. Repeat step 3 using Epic C reference instead of the URL
