During sub task creation, can the parent's summary be included in the sub task summary?

Jonathan Smith

Morning,

  I am creating a user management system in JWM for a business group. 

• Parent task = employee name
• Sub tasks = change tasks

When the 50+ sub tasks fire off, they have common language and does not identify WHO the action is for. 

• Sub task example: Remove from X systems.

Is it possible for the sub task summary field to include the parent summary?

• Field = {parent.summary) -The sub task title
• Result: Jonathan Smith - Remove from X systems.

Worst case, I direct the assignees to click up a level and view the parent task... OR we create a redundant field called employee name where it matches the summary...

Hi @Jonathan Smith - Yes this is totally possible with Jira Automation.  You can do something like this:

• TRIGGER: Issue Created
• CONDITION: Issue Type = Sub-Task
• ACTION: Edit Issue (Summary)
  • {{issue.parent.summary}} - {{issue.summary}}

After the sub-task is created, it will prepend the original summary with the parent summary.
