As i try to create a ticket (bug ) i want the description field to be prepopulated

[Bimpe]

I want to be able to prefill the description field of a partivular issue type - Bug

So that there are certain text in the filled that i do not need to populate on each Bug ticket.

how do i do this? I want this to happen as soon as i click the + button/ change the issue type to bug.

Thanks

Hello,

It is possible only for Jira Server /Data Center and you would need a plugin.

You could use ScriptRunner or Power Scripts.

If you want to use the Power Scripts add-on, you could create a Live Field with a code like this:

if(argv["screen"] == "create" and argv["issueType"] == "Bug") {

  lfSet("description", "your description");

}

You can find more info on Live Fields here:

Thank you, a shame i can not do this within Jira without a script...pretty sure i could in the past

Hi Bimpe,

Not sure if you could do it in the past. Perhaps you mean other (custom) fields that can have a default value, but the description field cannot have one in out-of-the-box Jira.

Hi @Bimpe,

Script runner plugins solves this - https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/behaviours-overview.html
