Using {{issue.parent.summary}} in automation to name child stories based on Parent TLE

[Mike Boutin]

I am trying to add the Parent Summary name to child stories I am creating using automation.

The Syntax I have been told I can use is: "{{issue.parent.summary}} 1. Schematic" in the create story event to apply the summary name of "1. Schematic" with a prefix of the TLE Summary.

When executed I do not get the TLE summary as expected. I only get the free text I am adding.

The audit trail shows success and does not flag any errors.

The Atlassian support group was able to provide a solution.

My goal was to have the Summary of the Parent issue be included in any child issue's summary at creation using automation.

The syntax that worked was: {{triggerIssue.summary}} in the automation step to create the child issue.

Hi @Mike Boutin -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For a question like this, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

• what type of project is this (e.g., company-managed, team-managed, etc.), 
• an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity,
• images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches,
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and
• explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case.

Kind regards,
Bill

  Cloud based Jira, Company-managed

  This system won't allow me to add an image. I get error that I have exceeded the character limit.

• explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case.
  The automation creates stories based on a specific TLE (Team Level Epic) I want the Summary of the TLE to be a prefix (or suffix) to the summary of the story that is being created in addition to my summary text.

To post the images, capture the images and use the "Insert Photos" button when responding in this thread:

When I add one I get the message "Details must be less than 100,000 characters, including images and markdown formatting". The picture comes in but I am unable to save/publish.

Without knowing the complete steps in your rule and the details of the edit, it will be difficult for the community to offer suggestions.

I recommend asking the same questions to your Jira Site Admin to learn how they can help.

Hi @Mike Boutin and welcome to the Atlassian Community!

can you share the automation you have done?

This way we can help you if there is a missing part.

Also, what do you mean by "TLE", what does that acronym stand for?

Best,
