Hi Support,  
I tried to sync up 3 different projects while making a custom filed to show parent’s ticket ULR or number.  
I followed the step provided here:  
[https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+display+the+remote+issue+link+in+a+custom+field](https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+display+the+remote+issue+link+in+a+custom+field)

Below I inserted the code:  
issue.customFields.“Epic Link”.value = issue.key

Yet, the filed in the project did not show any sign of link or parent number?

Can you please show me how to solve this issue?

Hi! Why are you using the Epic Link CF? This should be a reserved CF for Jira Agile. Have you tried with another text CF? Also, you want to set the replica.key

```auto
issue.customFields."Remote issue Key".value = replica.key

```
