Hi,
Is there a way to add a default text (template) to the issue description field so that colleagues who create the issues can use it and not write a design brief for each issue?
I am asking for a company-managed project.
Hello @Ivan Grudev
Welcome to the Atlassian community.
Jira Cloud does not natively provide the ability to create template text for the Description field in Company Managed projects.
You could achieve that requirement using a third party app - Adaptavist's Behaviours app provides that capability.
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1228522/behaviours-scriptrunner-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview
Note that while that app is free, a prerequisite to use it is the Adaptavist ScriptRunner app, which is not free.
Alternately there is a work around that uses a custom field and Automation Rules that relies only on native Jira functionality. That work around is described here:
