Connecting 2 EPICs for a Single Feature

[pranav12]

I know that the hierarchy of SAFe is EPIC>FEATURE>STORY>SCRUM TASK  but I just want to know whether we can link a feature to another epic i.e take the picture as reference,  I want to connect the Feature A to an EPIC B but also the Feature A is already connected to EPIC A. Now would that be possible(through OOTB, Custom Config or even Scripting) ? also I know this may not be a best practice but I am just exploring the Possibility.

Thanks In Advance

Hi @pranav 

as you already mentioned, the logical hierarchy is  EPIC>FEATURE>STORY>SCRUM TASK. 

But technically, the linking direction is the other way round: SCRUM TASK>STORY>FEATURE>EPIC.

You can see this in your screenshot, where the FEATURE links to the EPIC (and not the other way round). And for this reason, your requirement cannot be fulfilled, as EPIC records do not link to FEATURE record.

Kind regards
Maik

So even through the Scripting it is not possible right?

Yes, exactly!

Also is there any roundabout way for this like maybe duplicating this same feature and connecting this Feature A and New Feature A to EPIC A and EPIC B.?

Is that a Good Practice?
