How do I create a custom template for a description text input field? (Can it be free?)

[Barış Özer]

Hello,

When I create a task in a project, I want a special template to be created for the description text input field when the task type is "Story".

I can explain the steps as follows; Let Create > issueType (Story) > description be the articles I want.

After clicking Create, I want the texts I want to be written in the "Description" field below.

I researched the add-on. But I want a free solution.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

ScriptRunner Behaviors could do this for you. They have good documentation too and default descriptions are usually standard.

Hi @Marc Jason Mutuc 

Is it possible with ScriptRunner?

How much does ScriptRunner cost? How do we calculate?

We have 200 jira-software-users licenses.

We have 50 jira-servicemanagement licenses.

Do we calculate the license fee based on 200 units?

[Marc Jason Mutuc]

Yes. It will be based on 200 licenses.

@Barış Özer , just in case you need a free one, this works well for default desriptions

First, you'll need a plugin or maybe a script. I don't use scripting. I suggest you pose a new question specifically asking for a scripting solution. 

Second, any free plugin solution may just go away or not be supported in future Jira release. It may not be allowed in the cloud instance so I wouldn't go that route.

Hi @Joe Pitt 

I found a free plugin. But as you said, it may not support it in the future. There may be risks.

Thanks (:

Hey @Barış Özer I think our Templating.app could be a good solution for you. With our Behaviour Builder Feature you can do exactly this without the need of any scripts or coding.
