How to return the summary (ie short description) of the parent issue

[Nat Grauman]

Hi all. I have a fairly elaborate confiform where we work with Jira issues by defining a field called JiraID.  This works very well and we are able to pull in various fields nicely.

I am trying to get both the parent issue ID and Summary of JiraID. By summary I mean the text name of the issue - pretty sure that's called the summary. 

I am able to get the parent issue ID via this definition:

BIDID=[entry.JiraID.fields.customfield_20212]

But I am not able to get it to return the summary.  I have tried

summary=[entry.JiraID.fields.customfield_20212.summary] and I get nothing.

I tried pulling the JSON for an issue and got only one parameter, but when I view the JiraID issue itself in Jira, it displays with the summary, ie not just the Issue ID itself.

"customfield_20212": "ELPM-303"

 Any ideas? Alex?

ConfiForms does not know much about the field value of a Jira field.

But you can help it to take it as a Jira issue key and ask it to load it's data, using the asJIRAIssue function https://wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/CONFIFORMS/pages/2359385/Virtual+functions

[entry.JiraID.fields.customfield_20212.asJIRAIssue.fields.summary] 

Please note that this will do an extra roundtrip to your Jira to load the data
