Jira Automation (Cloud) Cascading Fields Copied from Trigger Issue

Question

I know this has been asked before, but I can't get it to work for my life.  My rule is as follows

Using Jira Premium

1. Create an Initiative

2. Copy various standard fields to the new issue and link the new issue to the Initiative via

{
     "fields": {
          "Parent link": "{{triggerissue.key}}"
     }
}

This works great and is pretty standard.

3. When I add this within the "fields" block, it doesn't work.

"Development Department[Select List (cascading)]": {
        "value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.Development Department[Select List (cascading)].value}}",
            "child": { "value" : "{{triggerIssue.fields.Development Department[Select List (cascading)].child.value}}"
             } 
     }

I've tried using "customfield_10182" with no luck and various other ways, I think to update these fields.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

{
"update": {
"CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME": [
{
"set": {
"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME.value}}",
"child": {
"value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME.child.value}}"
}
}
}
]

Hi Jeff - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

How about his:

{
  "update": {
    "Development Department": [
      {
        "set": {
          "value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.Development Department.value}}",
          "child": {
            "value": "{{triggerIssue.fields.Development Department.child.value}}"
