For future if Epic is already there kindly use same Epic and update its description. @nazarhussain @mconnelly8 This saves time in zenhub as well.

@jdevcs Definitely, but creating such empty epics way earlier endup not knowing which of issues are already created and are in backlog. So for better time saving, we must create and plan the foreseeable future.
