Get a clear view of your team's actual backlog.
Do your epics stay in the backlog of your Jira agile board after closing them?
Here's why. Besides the workflow status, epics have an additional field called epic status , only which is only accessible on the Backlog screen. Only Epics epics with the field Epic status field marked as "Done" get removed from the Backlogbacklog. Let's have a look at how this can be automated using JSU.

- Set Issue type to be equal to Epic and make sure that the comparison type is "String". You can now add your precondition. Don't forget to
