How to set up and validate locally

  1. Create a nested group structure: Top Group > Subgroup A > Subgroup B > Project B.
  2. Create an epic in Top Group named "Top Level Epic".
  3. Create an epic in Subgroup A named "Subgroup Epic".
  4. Navigate to Project B and click the button to create a New Issue.
  5. In the sidebar on the right, click the "Parent" dropdown.
  6. Search for "Subgroup Epic".
  7. Verify the subgroup epic is shown and not just the top level epic
