Is there a way to set a default text in the "description" field when the ticket is newly created?

Timo February 11, 2022

Hi Community, im new on this platform and started a new job, so I'm not very confident with Jira. 

After a long research i know that there are some plug-ins for pre-defined texts. Is there an other opportunity to set a default text for the field "ddescription". 

For example when i create a new ticket in every board in my Jira I want that there is a predefined Text like:

Tasks for development:

Task for consultant.

etc. 

What is the easiest way to get there? 

Our Projects are company hosted. 

 

I found some really complicated ways and i thought there should be an easier way. 
- I think this is not working for cloud solutions. https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-add-a-default-value-to-the-description-field-in-jira-1063552575.html

@Timo

I have finally found a plug 'n play solution.

It's this app: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211873/default-values-for-create-issue-screen-issue-templates?tab=overview&hosting=cloud 

 

It's free to use and matches exactly your questions, which are the same as I had. 

For me it's working great! Hope it'll help you and other people searching for a ready to use solution.
