Display issue field from a different project in description field through automation

[Sam Yeung]

Not sure if this is possible but I want to create an automation that creates a subtask and pulls fields from the parent issue and a linked issue into the description field.

I am using below in the description field to pull this information together into one section. 

{{triggerissue.key}}

{{triggerissue.reporter.displayname}}
{{triggerissue.reporter.emailaddress}}
{{triggerissue.Delivery Address}}

But I have a "contact name" field in a linked issue from another project that I want to display also.

Hi Sam - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Can you share the whole rule that you have? That will help us in diagnosing. 

But here is something you can try:

{{issue.issuelinks.outwardIssue.contact name.displayName}}  where contact name is the EXACT name of the field (including case sensitivity).

Of if it is not an outward link, try inward.
