Additional editing is not allowed in default added description with behaviour add-on

Jovita Sajonaite

Hello,

I added default text to description field via Behaviour plugin.

My code looks like this:

def descField = getFieldById("description")

def defaultValue = """
*Expected result:*"""

if (! underlyingIssue?.description) {
descField.setFormValue(defaultValue)
}

I can add my additional text into this prefilled field, but when I switch to another field to fill in, my added text disappears and just default text stays.

I tried another code with $currentValue, but it's still the same problem.

I also tried to add 

descField.setAllowInlineEdit(true)

this option, but still my additionally added text disappears.

Any thoughts what could be wrong and how I can modify my current code that additionally added text would stay in description field?

Make sure that your code is in the Initialization and not in the field behavior. The initialization will set the default text when the screen is first displayed. After that, it won't run. If you put it into the field behavior script, it will run every time the field is updated.
