Automated email back to issue parent

[Jason Westerman]

Hello, 

My goal is to send an automated email to the parent issue assignee (along with other specified users) when a subtask is marked 'done' on their issue. The subtask assignee is a different user than the parent issue assignee. I've been using {{issue.parent.assignee}} but that doesn't appear correct. An email has been generating for the specified users however. Any suggestions?

Hello @Jason Westerman 

You may need the smart value type email 

For exemple : 

{{issue.parent.assignee.emailAddress}}
