Summary

Some Epics are not displayed on the Epic Panel of the Project Board, even though the Board configuration is correct and the Epic workflow status being In Progress.

Solution

Epics have a hidden field for status, that is different from the workflow status and can impact the Epic being displayed in the Epic Panel.

Epics that are under the 'Done' Epic Status are not displayed in the Epic Panel

You can use 'Where's my field' in case the field is not displayed in the issue view screen.

Go to the issue and click on AdminWhere's my field?
