How can I add current sprint to summary when creating a story with automation

Question

I am using automation to create my PMO admin story for each sprint.  The story is created no problem and the summary contains what I want except the name of the current sprint.

I cannot get the sprint name to append to the summary.  I am trying to set the summary to something like this  "PMO Admin - Sprint 27"  I am missing that sprint.

Anyone have any suggestion

Thank you for that rule image.

With the Sprint Started trigger, please use the {{sprint.name}} smart value to access only that active sprint.

Then in the Create Work Item action, type in that smart value in the Summary field:

PMO Admin - {{sprint.name}}

However, if you rule will use a different trigger, the expression would change to find the correct sprint value.

Hi Bill the project is a Company project. I can create the story but not append the summary with the sprint name I wanted it to look like  "PMO Admin - Sprint 27" for example.  No matter what I tried I could not get the sprint name appended to the Summary
