Smart value of Epic Name / Epic Summary not working

[David Choi]

I'm trying to retrieve the epic name or epic summary from a task of an epic.

I tried both and they do not give the name of the epic back in the automation.

• Epic Link's Summary: {{issue.epic.summary}}
• Epic Link's Epic Name: {{issue.epic.epic name}}

Hi 

If this is from the child of an Epic, you need to utilize "issue.epic." - eg:

• Epic Link's Summary: {{issue.epic.Summary}}
• Epic Link's Epic Name: {{issue.epic.Epic name}}
• Epic Link's Labels: {{issue.epic.Labels}}

Edited by Atlassian:

The smart values are case-sensitive, so we edit the values above and they should work as expected.

Hi,

thank you for your reply.

Yes I tried all the smart values you mentioned, but they all do not work.

Hi,

unfortunately this issue is still open and I cant get the summary of the epic itself.

Thanks!

Hi,

I encountered the same issue and found a solution for it.

For some reason the smart value for Epics seems to be case sensitive

This worked for me:

• {{issue.epic.Summary}}
• {{issue.epic.Epic Name}}

Hello,

I used 

• {{triggerIssue.epic.summary}}
• {{triggerIssue.epic.Epic Name}}

instead of {{issue.epic.summary}} {{issue.epic.Epic Name}}, because you may be working in a different environment.

I used {{issue.epic.summary}}, and it works fine with me.
