How do you remove the default description value? (What's the task... ✏️ Why we're doing it...)

[Erik Schulz]

I selected the Kanban board type, and when creating an issue, the description has this default value:

```

What's the task... ✏️

Why we're doing it...

Steps we'll take...

Success is... ✨

```

How can I remove it?

Using a team managed project, the field is configurable, under Project settings > Issue types > Task;   then click field Description, modify Default description, and click Save changes.

Company managed project doesn't support changing the default value, it seems.

Hello, Good day. Please go to Settings >> Issues >> Custom fields, check for description, edit the default value.

[Erik Schulz]

There is no `description` field.

Hello, Thanks for the update. Could you please let me know whether this is Team managed project or Company managed project ?

[Erik Schulz]

@Mohanraj Thangamuthu 

Ah, I can see why that could be relevant.

It's a "Company managed project"

[Mohanraj Thangamuthu]

Hello, Good day. Could you please upload a screenshot of the create issue screen window with the description field shown ?

Please refer to the FR : https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-4812, I believe this issue could be on Team managed project.

Wow, I didn't realize that Atlassian was in such a bad state financially, losing hundreds of millions of dollars yearly.

I guess I can live with deleting the default value on each issue, but it's surprising that such a basic functionality is not supported for `company managed projects`.
