How do you add flag to an epic task in JIRA?
On a normal task, you just right click it and "Add flag", but when it becomes an epic you dont get that option.
Project Management Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for project managers. It only takes a minute to sign up.

We are using the Jira cloud version.
You can add a flag to an epic if it is in a sprint or on your Kanban board. Just click it like you would a normal issue, select the three dots, and "add flag". I had to create a separate Kanban board with just epics to accomplish this.
I haven't seen any built-in solutions for flag in an epic. What you can do is create a custom field and a custom filter with that field in order to take actions on the flagged items.
