## Promoting an issue to an epic ## Promoting an issue to an epic
A user who has permissions to close an issue and create an epic in the parent group > [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/7730) in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 10.6.
can promote an issue to an epic.
The epic is created in the group the issue project belongs to (direct parent group). If you have [permissions](../../permissions.md) to close an issue and create an
epic in the parent group, you can promote an issue to an epic with the `/promote`
[quick action](../../project/quick_actions.md#quick-actions-for-epics-ultimate).
Only issues from projects that are in groups can be promoted. Only issues from projects that are in groups can be promoted.
Once the quick action is applied, the epic will be created in the group the
issue of the project belongs to (direct parent group). A notification of that
epic creation will be sent to the subscribers of the original issue.
The following issue metadata will be copied to the epic:
- Title, description, activity/comment thread
- Upvotes/downvotes
- Participants
- Group labels that the issue already has
