   Could we get more info on what the value of the "oid" variable is above?

   The following code works for me to create an epic underneath another epic. "Epic:7632" is the oid token that refers to a specific Epic in my instance. '7632' is not easily viewable in the interface and is different from the Number (sometimes displayed by the name ID in the interface). A string visible in the interface such as 'E-01128' refers to the Number attribute of the Epic Asset Type and not the number to be used to compose the OID (object identifier) token.

   Oid epicContext = services.getOid("Epic:7632");
   IAssetType epicType = services.getMeta().getAssetType("Epic");
   Asset newEpic = services.createNew(epicType, epicContext);
   newEpic.setAttributeValue(epicType.getAttributeDefinition("Name"), "this is a test epic");
   newEpic.setAttributeValue(epicType.getAttributeDefinition("Description"), "auto generated section");
   services.save(newEpic);

   Creating "Epic:01128" based on the number in "E-01128" would be an invalid OID token. To get the OID from an Asset Number like "E-01128", you would have to query for the asset OID and then proceed with the code above.

   IAssetType epicType = services.getMeta().getAssetType("Epic");
   Query query = new Query(epicType);
   IAttributeDefinition numberAttribute = epicType.getAttributeDefinition("Number");
   FilterTerm numberFilter = new FilterTerm(numberAttribute);
   numberFilter.equal("E-01128");
   query.setFilter(numberFilter);
   Asset epicContext = services.retrieve(query).getAssets()[0];
   
   Asset newEpic = services.createNew(epicType, epicContext.getOid());
   newEpic.setAttributeValue(epicType.getAttributeDefinition("Name"), "this is a test epic");
   newEpic.setAttributeValue(epicType.getAttributeDefinition("Description"), "auto generated section");
   services.save(newEpic);
