[bug]: "Convert to Epic" button - Cleans up Poorly

[majew7]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [x] I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

The problem to be solved When I click Convert to Epic on an issue, it correctly becomes a new epic with the same identifier.

HOWEVER, it remains on the cycle board and it’s confusing. It’s confusing to click on the ilssue, and see the message “Work Item does not exist”. See picture.

Expectation Option A What I expect is:

1. The issue becomes an epic.
2. The issues Sub items, are moved to the Cycle/Work Items.
3. The (now) epic is removed from the board.

OR

Expectation Option B 4. The page named “Work Item does not exist”, has a button, “Acknowledge, and remove epic from Cycle” 5. THEN, the (now) epic is removed from the board.

Steps to reproduce

1. Click Convert to Epic from right-side drawer, to convert an issue to an epic
2. Observe the epic is in the cycle

That's weird.

Consider allowing epic type items to remain on the board. See #6771

Hi @majew7 Currently we do not allow Epics to be part of a cycle that is the reason we are seeing this, we will figure out a way gracefully handle this.

Hello @pushya22 ,

Observation

Q) Clean up? Is it safe to attempt to delete the "old" SINE-827 issue without disrupting the good SINE-827 epic? I haven't tried yet, because I don't want to harm the good epic accidentally due to the bug.
