I'm working on a test case database in JIRA. Many test cases require exactly the same steps to set up (Log in, navigate to dialog, switch to tab, enter test data). It's easy to enter this data into each case, but if we do so, we'll wind up with a mess of maintenance whenever those steps need changing.
In Mediawiki markup code, you can create a template page that contains "boilerplate" text (link bar for the bottom of a page, disclaimer or welcome text, etc.) and insert it anywhere by adding the markup code {PageName}. When the page renders, the tag's replaced with the text on the targeted page.
Is there a way to do this in a description field in JIRA? If not, what would be the smartest way within JIRA's normal workflow to point testers to a single location for the correct steps that they could easily navigate back from?
