Example for further context: * I create a task manually, using an example summary it would be: * Testing - Campaign Launch * After this is created, there are multiple sub-tasks created automatically. Example summary of subtasks:* Platform 1 - Campaign Launch * Platform 2 - Campaign Launch * Brief * Performance Recap My question is: How do I get "Testing -" coming directly from the parent into my sub-tasks automatically? Example of how I would like to look automatically: * Testing - Platform 1 - Campaign Launch * Testing - Platform 2 - Campaign Launch * Testing - Brief * Testing - Performance Recap Please let me know if I can provide anymore context!

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; } } }

Hi @Breanna Williams ~ is the info you're pulling from the parent always a specific length or wording? Would it be anything in the parent that is before the dash?

Hi @Laurie Sciutti ! It is not a specific length. Yes, it would be anything before the dash!

Hi @Breanna Williams ~ I think you want this:

{{issue.summary.substringBefore("-")}}

Amazing, that worked! Thank you so much @Laurie Sciutti
