Using JIRA Automations how can I set the team of a sub-task to equal the parent issues team value?

Question

I have a situation for reporting that we want to report on teams and subtasks, but noticed you can not set the team of a subtask out of the box. Is it possible to do via an automation?

My trigger is very simple

When: Issue Updated

Issue Type is one of - Sub Task, Bug - Sub Task (custom)

Then: Edit issue Fields

I then have this in the edit field, but feel like I'm missing something

{
"Fields":{
"Team": {{ parentIssue.fields.Team.value }}
}
}

(JSON is not my strongest language)

Any help is welcome!

Thanks,
Dave

@Bill Sheboy even when setting the following I seill get a an error - BHV-19015 (The Team must be a string (customfield_12300))

Here's the triggered JSON

{
"fields": {
"customfield_12300": { "id" : 1 }

}
}

hi @Bill Sheboy  - really having a hard time with this.  Do you have an example of setting the custom field (team/customfield_12300 in my case) on a sub task to a value on a parent task?

Please take a look at that second documentation link I sent; it shows two examples of how to do this, using the single-select id or the value.
