smart value / REST for epic name

[Frank Thomas]

Is there a smart value or way to obtain the name of an epic?  issue.epic.key returns the key but I would like to retrieve that the label in the issue displays.

Hi @Frank Thomas 

What field on the Epic are you looking to retrieve? The Epic Name?

If this is from the Epic itself, you just need "issue." because it doesn't refer to an Epic Link - eg:

• Epic Summary: {{issue.summary}}
• Epic's Name: {{issue.epic name}}

If this is from the child of an Epic, you need to utilise "issue.epic." - eg:

• Epic Link's Summary: {{issue.epic.summary}}
• Epic Link's Epic Name: {{issue.epic.epic name}}
• Epic Link's Labels: {{issue.epic.labels}}

Let us know if this resolves your query :)
