Where to add design notes that apply to a sprint in agile greenhopper

Harpreet, what you're asking for is just impossible to do natively. You just have to shoehorn what you want sometimes into JIRA.

You might consider creating a special issue type called "Sprint Goal" and then associating it with each sprint. That could be messy, but functional. In general, there's no way to provide metadata about a Sprint in JIRA because it's never really exposed to the user except through the UI artifacts in JIRA Agile.

Your original question says adding a note for the Sprint.

If you are looking at a Story level, of course you can add a custom field.

Design notes for a Sprint? If you are looking at having some common guidelines for Sprint, use a confluence page for it, while I also would have preferred as place in JIRA Agile (a.k.a GreenHopper) itself to put down common information about sprint like Sprint Goal.

How about adding a custom field for Issue type Story called Design Constraint? We don't have Confluence.
