Linking Epics to Other ObjectsLinking Epics to Other Objects

Group. Epics are linked to a group (Scrum) by the group identifier groupId. You can obtain the identifier using the create new group method or the get group list method. A group is considered a Scrum if the SCRUM_MASTER_ID field is filled.

User. An epic is associated with users by their numerical identifier in the createdBy and modifiedBy parameters. You can obtain the user identifier using the user.get method.

• disk.storage.uploadfile
• disk.folder.uploadfile
