Please see this article - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/setting-a-default-value-in-the-description-field-166003857.html

If you have script runner plugin installed then this is how it's done.

Thank you for this.

I  have one more doubt.

We have two tab(Field Tab and Customer Information) as shown in the screenshot. In the first tab we have description field and customer description in second tab in which we want some values. I have the below script. There is no error but when i go back and create the issue i dont see the values. Please check where i am wrong.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;

def desc = getFieldById("description")

def defaultValue = """Initial condition:

Stimulus applied:

""".replaceAll(/ /, '')

if (! underlyingIssue?.description) {
desc.setFormValue(defaultValue)
}
def desc1 = getFieldById("Customer Description")

def defaultValue1 = """
ATTENTION: PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION !!!!

Customer Description:

""".replaceAll(/ /, '')

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
CustomField customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Customer Description");
String customerDescription = customField.getValue(underlyingIssue);
//if(customerDescription !=null && ! customerDescription.isEmpty()){
desc1.setFormValue(defaultValue1)
//}

Thank you!
