How can i modify ShowConstantsHelp.jspa

[Naveen]

Please give me some information on how can i edit the ShowConstantsHelp.jspa page to show the info according to my organizations need.

For anyone reading this later, that file picks up automatically the descriptions YOU have provided - for the Priority levels, for the Statuses, etc - all under Jira settings (cog wheel) - Issues - Issue attributes.

See screenshots:

That page will automatically pick up the Statuses, Resolutions and Priorities that you define.

If you  need to make a source level change see 

jira-project/jira-components/jira-core/src/main/java/com/atlassian/jira/web/action/util/ShowConstantsHelp.java

Thank you for the info Matt....

Am new to Jira, if you don't mind could you please point me to exact path of ShowConstantsHelp.java page

First, are you sure that the page doesn't already show you what you want? Changing source code is an extra effort to maintain when you next upgrade.

That file is in the JIRA source code which you can download from your account at my.atlassian.com. Building it uses the ant file in the external directory, but that may not be a supported approach any more?

our SQA team wanted the description needs to be shown closer to our organizations requirement and also they want some additional fields to be shown, that is the main reason i asked if there is any possibility to modify that page
