Atlassian updates: New Parent field in company-managed projects

Exciting updates are here in the world of Jira!

This week, we're thrilled to introduce improvements in how you connect epics with bugs, stories, and tasks within company-managed projects. Atlassian is introducing the new Parent field, aligning your project organization experience with that of team-managed projects.

Here's what's fresh:

The Parent field is now seamlessly integrated into the creation of schemes and layouts.
Bid farewell to the Epic link and Parent link fields; they've been replaced with the comprehensive Parent field across issue views, issue creation, and workflow transitions.
Consistency is key, and now the Add parent feature, previously exclusive to team-managed projects, is available in company-managed issue views.
Furthermore, the parent JQL function has been enhanced to encompass the functionalities of the epic link, parent link, and parent Epic functions, making Jira queries even more streamlined.
