hi @Community Alums ,

yes you need to make After update Business rule ,script something like below

if (current.parent != null) {
    var parentIncident = new GlideRecord('incident');
    if (parentIncident.get(current.parent_incident)) {
        
       
        parentIncident.description += '' + current.description;
        parentIncident.update();
        
        gs.info('Parent incident description updated with child incident description.');
    }
}

Thanks,

Hi @Bhavya11 , 

Will there be any OOB functionality to copy description from child to parent incident?
