Is there a way to display a parent's field value in a child view?  For example, In a sub-task view, can I display (in read ony) the parent's fixversion field value?

@Phil If the field exists on the sub-task you can populate it with the parents information through an automation.  We do this for fix version, components, and other information.  We have an automation that updates them when they are changed on the parent and one that adds them when the sub-task is initially created or updated.  This keeps the information in sync and allows us to see the information on the sub-task without having to go to the parent issue.
