How would I copy the grandparent summary to the label of a sub-task?

Hello,

 

I would like to be able to create an automation rule that when a sub-task is created, it copies the summary (name) of its parents parent (grandparent) to the label field of the sub-task. 

 

Is this possible through automation?

 

Thank you,

Joe

Okay so I solved this myself. Solution below for anyone that may need it

 

This is the automation rule: When a new sub-task is created (Blocker in my case), the rule is triggered, it then looks for the parent of the sub-task and takes the summary of the parents parent and inputs it into the label field of the parent task (it removes the spaces automatically). After this the sub-task is then edited and the labels from the sub-tasks parents are copied to the sub-task. This completes my requirement.

The branch 'Then' rule is setup like this:

The last 'Then' rule is setup like this:
