Diagnosis

When ever the user tires to edit or change the parent icon from the Task, They are receiving the below error

"Epic- You can't edit the parent of the issue" 


Solution

After reviewing the project screens, noticed that the screen the user is using for editing and viewing is missing the parent field.

Once you add the parent field, should be able to edit it. This applies to other fields as well.
