Need to concatenate a text field and cascading field

[Trevor Overstreet]

Hello,

I am trying to write an advanced expression so the Summary field will contain a text field from a form (already linked in forms to the Summary field) AND add a cascading field which is comprised of a team (parent) and client (child) once the form is submitted and task is created in Jira.

Example:

{{issue.summary}} - {{issue.CS Team and Client list.value""}}

"Campaign launch - Team ABC - Client XYZ

Error:

Error while parsing additional fields. Not valid JSON.

Hi @Trevor Overstreet - You don't need to use the More Options section for this.  You just need to add the Summary field from the "Choose fields to Set" selector.  Then place that smart value expression in there and you should be all set.

Thanks for the reply @Mark Segall ! I will give it a shot

@Mark Segall so I tried the origianl expression and was missing the cascading field data entirely. I altered the expression to {{issue.summary}} - {{issue.CS Team and Client list.value}} but there's an issue with the cascading field.

The result now is "Campaign launch - Team ABC".

I am missing the client (child value) at the end ( - Client XYZ)

Yes - You'll want something like this:

{{issue.summary}} - {{issue.CS Team and Client list.value}}|{{issue.CS Team and Client list.child.value}}

Note - I'm using a pipe ("|") to separate the parent/child in the cascade.  You can use whatever you want there.

Perfect! Worked like a charm. Many thanks!
