Linking Stories to Epics with the JIRA connector

I'm working on a workflow to pull story and epic information from JIRA using the JIRA connector, but I don't see a field that links stories to epics or vice versa. Has anyone figured out a way to link the two?

Hi @dmcolber 

 

Have you taken a look at the JIRA API documentation? https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/rest/#api-rest-agile-1-0-epic-none-issue-post 

 

The JIRA connector isn't officially supported by Alteryx, but I have downloaded it and noticed that it allows for itself to be opened like a macro by right clicking and selecting open macro. If you read through the API documentation and it allows for pulling that link between an Epic and Story, you could modify the query being sent to the download tool to pull the necessary information. I am not familiar enough with JIRA to know what this link would be, but that is the approach I would take.
