Getting parent isssue on sub-task creation

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to modify the description template placed in the description box for the user to edit when creating a subtask based on the Issue Type of the parent issue. The problem is that I cannot seem to find a way to access the parent issue while creating the sub-task. Is there a way to do so?

Thanks in advance for the help!

@Carla Ann Rowland Thanks for the answer.

No, sorry, maybe I formulated the question wrong. I already wrote the code to insert the custom description template in the editable description box ON CREATION of the subtask (not after it's already created), but I want to change that template depending on the Issue Type of the parent issue

In automation rule???   First create subtask copying content of description field. Then write the code to append the description field.
