When creating a new epic with Jira Automation I want the created storys to reference the epic name.

[kyle_ogrodnick]

I've created an Automation in Jira so that whenever I create an Epic, it creates the standard list of stories need to complete. For example, Design, Create Dashboards, NN Testing and so on. 
The issue is, the smart value I am trying to use are not populating in the created stories. 

Ultimately I want the Epic Name or Epic Summary to appear in Story Summary

I have used the below smart values but again these are not populating

{{issue.description}}

{{issue.parent.summary}}

{{issue.parent.epic.summary}}

{{createdIssue.parent.epic.summary}}

{{issue.parent.epic.summary}}

Hi @kyle_ogrodnick , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question. 

I was able to get this working by creating a variable with the Epic name, like this

Is this what you meant to do? 

I hope this helps you but if you have any questions or doubts, please just ask. 

Cheers

Hi @Valerie Knapp 

I respectfully suggest not using Created Variables with the same name as other smart values.  There is too much risk of a person making an error or the rule interpreting the value incorrectly.

When I create variables, I always add a prefix to avoid such collisions, such as varEpicSummary.

Kind regards,
Bill
