Versions: This filter allows you to screen issues based on the released product versions. For example, the product features that you have released through different versions. Epic: This filter allows you to group deployments and issues by epics. You can also filter the issues that don’t have a parent epic.

Since the Epic issue is in a non-editable status (due to the property jira.permission.edit.denied in the Workflow Status), this operation fails: the Epic Link gets cleared without being set to a new value; Note that this issue does not only impact the bulk move operation, but also the move action from the Jira Issue View page:

Sounds like you want one board to manage it all in which case the swimlanes makes the most sense to me and it is a super easy change on the board config.
I would think you could use the following. The first part covers the actual epic issue keys and the second covers the issues that are part of those Epics. Thank you Jack , I am awaiting the users exact JQL. So they are trying to exclude Epics that are part of an Initiative. The Initiative is the parent of the epic and used the field Parent link

Indeed, Jira automation does not have a function to remove a component of a child issue (Stories, Sub-task, etc) when it gets removed in the parent issue (Epic or Parent task). We have the following feature request to get this function implemented on the rule triggers, so you would be able to use the Smart values to properly reference it in the
