[Viral Patel]

Hello 

I have an automation where a isssue (Test2) is created a subtask called Legal gets created but i want to code the subtask summary to Legal - Test2)

I did try {{issue.parent.epic.summary}} - Legal Review

but when the rule runs it only shows - Legal Review?

Thanks

Hi Viral,

Try using Legal Review - {{issue.parent.summary}}

Hi @John Funk 

Thank you for the quick response!

I tried that buts its the same issue. Please see the images below.

Okay - it must be setting that prior to recording the parent. The triggerIssue is actually what I use the most myself. 

And if you want the parent ID,  just use {{triggerIssue.key}}

Perfect that worked! thank you so much!

Awesome - glad that worked!

Hi @Viral Patel,

There is some essential information missing in your screenshot to be 100% sure about how you set up your automation rule, but try this instead to refer to the summary:

{{triggerIssue.summary}} - Legal review

That syntax should inherit the summary from the issue that triggered your automation rule. 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Walter Buggenhout 

Thank you for the quick response! that worked perfectly!

IF I want to add the parent ID was would be the syntax for that?

You mean the issue key, @Viral Patel? If so:

{{triggerIssue.key}} {{triggerIssue.summary}} - Legal review

Hello Viral,

You can just use {{issue.summary}}, because the current context is your trigger issue (current issue).

Hope this help.
