Hey Everyone,

I was working on creating a new project within my company's Jira account when my computer crashed. The project description was something like 1,000 words and I felt like I was in the zone when writing it. But before I could publish it, my computer crashed and when I opened Chrome I couldn't restore that browser.

Does anyone know if there is a way to recover that file?

Thank you in advance for any help!

I'm afraid not, the fields (including the project description) are simple HTML edit boxes, there's no drafting/saving/backup editor for them.

Most people tend to use the project description field for a short description, and then put the home page of the project's Confluence space (where they give the full description) into the Project URL link.  Confluence does have a drafting editor.
