Issues name including Epic name - JIRA Automation

[Plamen Todorov]

Hello community,

I am struggling to use variables in JIRA for an automation. 

I am trying to incorporate the name of the Epic Link, inside the name of the Issue name that is created by automation.

The automation is as follows:
- Trigger: value changes for Labels
- JQL condfition: issuetype = Epic and labels = "something"
- Then Create a new issue

For issue summary I tried using a few variables, like {{issue.epic.Epic Name}}, {{issue.epic.Epic Link}} but none worked. The issue is created by it doesn't take the name of the epic in it's name.

Any ideas what should I change to make that work?

Hi @Plamen Todorov - Since you're keying off of the epic, it is just an issue like any other so no need for duplicating "epic" in the smart value.  Try this:

{{issue.epic.name}}
