Hello Team,

Can we restrict the "description" value using  (project Automation) to only a set of values when we click on log time in Jira?

Can I restrict this description to only a fixed string value "Text ABC" or "Text XYZ" and not random values which any user can input?

Regards

Priyanka

Hi Priyanka,

the only way I see to that is with a webhook that is fired based on the worklog created event.

Hi Priyanka,

Go to Workflow and select the first transition for: Create.

Then edit the transition and go to Postfunction: Update issue field.

After this you will search Summary and input your value.

Hello @Cristian Ionescu 

Thank you for the reply but here I do not have to set the field to some value, instead, I have to restrict the " description" field from being filled by junk value"ijzdfyg" or "hsdbhabd" . This description is the one that appears when I click on log work. Please see the attached screenshot.

As i know Description is a free text field you cannot modify it in dropdown or radio buttons with preset values.
