How to set the Parent field with Create Issue Post Script (JMWE)

Question

I need an Epic to create a couple stories and Tasks.

The problem I am running into is that I can't figure out how to set the Parent field. I have tried to manually set it using multiple fields but I can't figure out the one the field needs.

My last attempt was to set it as {{issue.fields.issuekey}} and that didn't work and I have tried lots of others beforehand that also didn't work.

I know this can be done in Jira automation but I would very much like to do it in JMWE.

Could you try the below configuration in the JMWE Create issue(s) post-function? I tested and confirm it works on my end:

I hope this helps!
