Custom script field to show parent Task summary in a filter of Sub-Tasks

[David Reaburn]

Originally posted as a question, but now is a solution as it was pretty simple..

In a filter showing only Sub-Tasks, you can't see the parent task summary, only the key.

To show the name, add a Custom Script Field with this:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

return issue.getParentObject().getSummary()

Name it something like Parent Task Summary.

Then you just have to add this as a column in your filter (or as a field in a Sub Task screen) and it will show you the parent task summary.
