Hello @Kumar 

Based on your requirement I suggest you to use the behaviour module of SR plugin which get's activated at the time of create issue screen popup

Hi @Tarun Sapra  I resolved it I did a small change in the script

issue.description = """ Description
________________________________________________

DateTime

Cause

Action""".replaceAll(/ /, '') 

This is the script i have modified and its working thanks for your help 

Thanks,

Kumar

Hi, does anybody now how to add bullet points to the value? description is a rich text field, so there must be a way to include formatting elements.
