Jira Automation: How to add prefix for summary on Subtask Creation.

Question

Hi,

I am working now on creating subtasks based on one custom field change. I am able to make this work but the problem is troubling adding  "prefix - Summary" on subtask during the creation.

I tried writting the text as "Jan - {{issue.summary}}"

and "Jan - {{issue.parent.summary}}"

Both did not work. Second one updating the Task summary. But I need it for Subtask.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Om

Hi @Omprakash Thamsetty

Unfortunately, certain options can only be performed at certain steps in Automation for Jira. 
When an option isn’t available, it means it isn’t possible.

I don’t have an idea how to get this tow work in your case.

Hi @Ismael Jimoh

Looks like I don't have the Branch rule/ Related issue option in IF block. I tried Branch rule/Related issue on Main branch but I have added If condition to check some of the field values to trigger create subtask as shown in below pic.

Do you have any idea how I can handle Branch rule/related issues in IF block? Or any otherway I can change the subtask summary which we create in IF block?
