Jira Automation, SubTask summary contains form fields

[Paula Brück]

I would like to create a SubTask via Jira Automation. The SubTask summary should contain information (last name and start date) from a previously submitted form within the parent issue. 

The form from which the information should be taken is not the trigger shown in the screenshot ("EmployeeLifecycleManagement_Manager_DE"). It is a differen form which is attachted to the parent issue.

My current automation looks like this:

Can someone help me to extend the summary of the SubTask?

I have done the following:

I created two new custom fields: name and Start Date. These are the two pieces of information that I wanted to be displayed in the SubTask summary. I then linked the custom field to the corresponding field in the form.
In the automation, I then added the following information to the SubTask summary "Useranlage {{issue.parent.Last name}} {{issue.parent.Start date}}".

Hi @Paula Brück , thanks for your question. 

Would it be possible, in your scenario, to populate a custom field on the submission of the other form with the name? You don't need to enable the custom field to the view screen so it doesn't need to be visible, but in that way, you could just reference a smart value of the custom field.

Please share your feedback about my proposed solution. 

Cheers
