JIRA template

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I am wondering if there's any built-in or market functionality where I can add some pre-populated text into the body of the JIRA (thus, 'template') whenever I create a JIRA from a certain project.

The exact use-case is when creating a JIRA for a prod-release, I want the JIRA submitted to be reminded to fill in certain information. So I was thinking of adding a template for something like

<h3>Roll-back release versions </h3>

<p> Enter roll back release notes in this section.. </p>

<h3>Post-release check notes </h3>

etc...

What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

Hi, 

This is a really good question.

In fact, my last job needed something like this for it's Jira instance and looking around in the Marketplace I found 'Issues template for JIRA'. I left that other job in the midsts of testing this new add-on and from what I've heard, they're really happy about it. 

I can only suggest this: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.intenso.jira.issue-templates/cloud/overview

Also look around the marketplace, because you can't always get what you want, but you'll get what you need :)

Out of the box JIRA doesn't support default values for system field. Though you can achieve with various plugins available on the marketplace. The plugin I use is the "Script runner" plugin's Behaviour module.

The approach Taprun suggested works like a charm for us (we use it to populate the description field for issues of the type story)
