Parent Field

Overview​

"Parent Field" is a read-only field that displays any specified field (e.g., status, assignee, priority) from the parent issue, if one exists. This allows for a quick reference to parent issue details without navigating away.

Use Cases​

  • Parent Assignee/Status/Labels/Priority and other fields: Display the value of the parent issue's field (epic for standard tasks, standard tasks for sub-tasks) without needing to switch between the current issue and its parent.

Create and configure the custom field​

Create and configure your custom field by following the instructions in our Getting Started guide on FieldCraft Custom Field Configuration.
