Trying to include the Epic key (parent issue) in an automation for a new task in the summary

[Matthew Butler]

So i am trying to create an automation to create a child issue in an automation that will have dedicated text but will also include the epic Key in the summary along with my chosen text. This is what i have come up with but it does not seem to be working.

i am using the Then:create issue with a request type which states that i can use spart values but it does not seem to be working for me.

Does anyone have any ideas how i can do this?

Hi @Matthew Butler,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Epics do not have a an epic key, it is using the same key as all other issues. So in the summary field you should use {{issue.key}} Procurement to get the result you are looking for.
