JIRA - Activate preview field by default

[MiguelP]

Hi all,

I have a Text Field (multi-line) with deafault value. I want that when I create a issue by default it was enabled preview field:

Hi all,

I tried inject javascript but It doesn't work:

<script>
var obj = jQuery("#customfield_10200-preview_link");
if (obj) {
  obj.trigger("click");
}
</script>

Any idea? The JIRA version is 6.4.1

Thanks.

That's rather counter-intuitive for the user, and hence not something you can do easily.  You probably could inject some javascript to do it though.

Hi, I don't think that is possible in JIRA out of the box.

You could Put the field on the VIEW screens. Do not put it on the CREATE & EDIT screen so that this field will be read only. 

You could also explore the Behavior field plugin : 

• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.jira.plugin.Behavioursto make a field read-only.
