Backlog inline issue creation does not fully respect cascadeOption(parent, child) JQL for cascading fields: only the parent is auto‑populated, the child is left empty.

      Current behavior
      Board filter:
      project = 'XYZ' AND "Cascading Field[Select List (cascading)]" IN cascadeOption("123", "456")
      Steps:

      • Configure a Select List (cascading) field Cascading Field with parent option 123 and child 456.
      • Use the above filter on a company‑managed board.
      • In the Backlog, create an issue via the inline “Create issue” button.
      • Open the created issue.
         
        Result:
        Cascading Field has only the parent value set; the child is not populated
         

        Expected behavior
        When the board filter uses "<Cascading Field>" IN cascadeOption("parentId", "childId") (an unambiguous parent–child pair), inline issue create should auto‑populate both parent and child on the new issue so it fully matches the board filter.
         
        Impact/justification

      • Teams rely on cascading fields and cascadeOption() in board filters.
      • Only setting the parent forces users to manually pick the child for every backlog item, causing extra clicks and inconsistent data.
      • Other select‑type fields are auto‑populated from board JQL; cascading fields should behave consistently when cascadeOption() clearly defines a single parent–child combination.
