How to add the parent summary to the subtask summary

[Amit Anand]

Need to implement: How to add the parent summary to the subtask summary

parent task summary = "Test summary"

sub-task with summary  ="Subtask summary"

Sub-task summary should be change to "Subtask summary-Test summary"

You can use Automation for Jira for it. Go to project settings > Automation > New rule

Trigger: issue created 

Condition: issue-type: sub-task

Action: Summary: {{issue.summary}} - {{issue.parent.summary}}

Here a screenshot:

@Rudy Holtkamp  Im trying to use this for updating "legacy/old" issues in jira:

project = "XXX" AND issuetype = Task AND createdDate <= now()

and 

Its is running and saying it is a succes, but still, when I open the tasks, the file "Epic name" is not updated:

You can take a look at the history of DAA-2044, and see if something has been updated.

You could also add a log action in between, with {{issue.key}} - {{issue.parent.key}} - {{issue.parent.summary}} to see the values 

And remove the check here:

Otherwise you might get not all the issues you expect.

{{issue.parent.summary}} -- sorry for the typo

{{issue.parent.summart}} is not solving the purpose here. I think there are few values supported as per the documentation

Hi Srinivasa,

The solution still works, just tested the automation rule.

No. This worked me
