How to include parent issue name/summary in Slack message using {{lookupIssues}}

Niccolo Ossude February 14, 2022

I've automated a Slack message every morning for urgent tasks due within a week.

I would like to know how to include the name/summary of the parent issue in this message (doesn't need a link), as it can be confusing to have only the sub-task summary without its parent. 

Here is the message:

Good morning <@xxxxxxxxxx>!
Here are your most urgent tasks over the next week, sorted by due date and priority smile

{{#lookupIssues}}
• <{{url}}| {{issue.parent.key}}> <{{url}}| {{issueType.name}}: {{summary}}> | Priority: *{{priority.name}}* | Due in: *{{duedate.diff(now).days.abs}} days*

{{/}}
_Please put a Due date if "Due in" field is blank._

If you need help with any task, check the "Other members assigned" field on the task to see who to ask.

I would appreciate any help with this! Thank you

Hi @Niccolo Ossude 

You should be able to get the parent summary with this:

{{issue.parent.summary}}
