The 'Short Description' field from the release parent is not populating the 'Project Name' field

[CarolMa6]

Hi, 

I'm trying to configure the 'Short Description' field from the release parent to populate the 'Project Name' field in related tasks. However, the current business rule is incorrectly updating the related tasks using the 'Description' field from the related phase task instead of the release parent.

table: rm_task

when: display

script: 

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    current.u_project_name = current.parent.short_description;

})(current, previous);

Regards

The logs show that the Project Name field in the Release Task record is being populated. However, instead of pulling the correct value from the Parent Release record, it appears to be populated with the Short Description from the Release Phase Task record.

not sure how this is happening, help.

@CarolMa6 

it means it's not picking the correct field.

How can I ensure that updates are strictly happening between only two tables — rm_task and its parent table rm_release . The logs show that the project_name value is correctly captured on the parent (rm_release) table, but nothing is being populated on the child (rm_task) table. This suggests that the script isn't successfully retrieving the value from the parent and applying it to the corresponding field on the task form.

I’ve hit a wall and would really appreciate your help.
