I am using basic Jira automation to create 2 sub-tasks if the trigger issue satisfies certain conditions. The trigger issue summary will always start with "Master: " and the sub-tasks summary must be "Android: " and "iOS: " respectively. I have tried iOS:{{issue.parent.summary.substringAfter("Master:")}} after going through some community posts but this results into iOS: Can someone help me out with what am I missing here?

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

I am using basic Jira automation to create 2 sub-tasks if the trigger issue satisfies certain conditions.

The trigger issue summary will always start with "Master: " and the sub-tasks summary must be "Android: <remainder of the parent's summary after Master: >" and "iOS: <remainder of the parent's summary after Master: >" respectively.

I have tried

iOS:{{issue.parent.summary.substringAfter("Master:")}}

after going through some community posts but this results into

iOS:

Can someone help me out with what am I missing here?

Hi @Jagz -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Please try to use the {{triggerIssue}} and drop the parent part to use the information from that issue. For example:

iOS: {{triggerIssue.summary.substringAfter("Master:").trim()}}

Note I added a trim() function to handle when the trigger issue optionally has a space after "Master:"

If that does not help, please post an image of your entire rule and of the audit log for an rule execution which does not work as you expect. Thanks!

Kind regards,
Bill

Hello @Bill Sheboy ,

Please suggest me the exact value I shall use in the 'Summary' field, where my requirement is as follows.

Sub-Task's summary = {{ Parent summary + value of Custom field + Value of 2nd Custom field }} Those 2 values of custom fields will be present in the Sub-Task that is created now.

Please check the below attached snippet for your reference.

Thanks in advance Bill...

My alternative way is :

I Created a branch after Sub-Task create component, typed the summary with the values like " Value of CF1- Value of CF2 - {{issue.parent.summary}} '' and it worked for me but I want to know whether it was fine or I can achieve it in any other ways?
