Root cause help to understand why this happen.  Whenever you want analysis the defect, it can help you remember it clearlly.

Thank you. Is there standard list of values for Root Cause Field. Please advise. We want to use the 'Reason' field as substitute of Root Cause and categorize the production defect accordingly.

There are no standard values for a reason field, it's not a field that comes with Jira off-the-shelf.  Most Jira installs track "reason we've closed this" with the resolution field.

The values for a reason field should be determined by the reporting you want to do on items being closed.
