Default table in story description with numbered column using automation

Lloyd Parker

I am trying to edit the description in our test case issue type with the following table

||*Description*||*Expected Result*||*Actual Result*||
| | | |
| | | |

The current automation edits the description field upon test creation if the description field is left blank. This does work and creates a 3x3 table with the headers in bold.

However I cannot figure out how to set the numbered column option by default. Is it possible to generate the same table using Advance Field Editing? I have seen some examples of JSON tables that were used with the Jira Rest API, but I can't get something simple to work as editing the description field with the following: edit: I got the description field update to work using the following:

{"fields": {"description" : "a new description"}}

All suggestions welcome, thanks!

I will join in on this question.

My current layout is this:

Test Case 1 /
{panel:title=Preconditions|bgColor=#deebff}
-
{panel}

||*Test*||*Test Data*||*Expected Result*||*Actual Result*||
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |

 

and i also search for a solution to:

1. Have automated numbering of the table.

2. Underlined "Preconditions".

3. Able to find other formats. I found those randomly in the internet. I didn't find any libary listing all these formats.

Thanks
