Parent link

[MouBen]

I'm trying to get the parent link to show up on the subtask screen (something similar with epic link and task).

I've created a custom field called "Parent ID" and I've created an automation rule to retrieve the parent summary with "{{issue.parent.summary}}" and the url with "{{issue.parent.url}}".

I would like to have the summary to be clickable without showing the url (same functionnality as epic link).

Is your custom field of type URL? If not what is the type?

Also, I can't recall how server presents the parent, but in cloud, there are breadcrumbs back to the parent in the sub task already. Is this, or similar, not the case in server?

Hi Jack, my custom field is a text field. And yes there are breadcrumbs but unfortunately with don't have the parent filed available in the dashboard like we do in cloud.

so a text field won't allow for html links. maybe consider using a url field.

The problem is that with a url field I cannot use something like: 

<a href="{{issue.parent.url}}">"{{issue.parent}}"</a>
