How can we make a default value in Jira Product Discovery

[Ralph Gerald Varon]

For Example, we created a single select field with the following selections:

• YES
• NO

and we want the default value to be "NO"

How can we do that in the Jira Product Discovery Field?

Hi @Ralph Gerald Varon 

As suggested by Christos, a very simple automation rule can solve your requirement.

This is how we solve it for a checkbox field (see example below). Note that advanced edit might not be necessary for your field type, depending on the field type your YES/NO field is.

Don't forget to restrict this rule only to your JPD project in the automation rule details tab.

+1 to what Mart said, default values aren't available in Jira Product Discovery at the moment, but we have added this suggestion in our Jira Product Discovery project.

I see, so this is the only way, I appreciate the answer still. Thank you!

I'm just not sure if this is a good way to solve it because in our instance, we only have 500 automation limits in the JPD.

If u have Scriptrunner for Jira Cloud or JMWE for cloud i thing u can do it from there also and it doesn't count in your automation runs

Hi @Ralph Gerald Varon 

I believe this is not supported yet in JPD. u have to use automation on create issue to put the default value or some 3rd party app that supports JPD fields.

That's Unfortunate, anyways Thank you for the answer! much appreciated!
