EDIT: Realised that the Labels doesn't work either if there are multiple labels. Get an error about Labels not being able to contain spaces as it tries to set Labels to "Label1, Label2"

Hey @Sanjay Samani 

Can you check this rule please ?

You are not obligated to use smart values :)

let me know if it's convenient

Ah, when I'd selected "COPY" rather than set next to the field, and it had set it as Add Component from Current Issue, it wasn't clear that I could click on that and change it to Parent Issue. 

Thank you for the help, super appreciated.

Hi @Sanjay Samani ,

Please try like {{issue.parent.component/s}} .
