How can we use Template for a Jira field? My template has table too.

Hi @Ramya Do you mean how do you have a pre-filled template for a Jira field? e.g., have all your descriptions in new issues pre-populate with the same information?

This thread might have some answers for you. 

From that thread, an Atlassian team member mentioned you can only do this from a team-managed project.

Team Managed Project:

Navigate to Project Settings -> Issue Types -> Go to the Issue type, you can add the description fields with the default information you'll need on the issue type.

 

If you're working in a company-managed project, you'd need a third-party app or you could try this:

Workaround-

Create a custom field for description and use it instead of the system field.

The steps are:
* Enter JIRA, Navigate to Settings -> Issues -> custom field

1.  Click on the button 'Add Custom Field', on the top right corner.
2. Select a text field (multi-line or single line). Click 'Next'.
3. Give it a name and, optionally, a description.
4. Click on Create.
5.  Select the project(s) checkboxes in which you want to include your custom field.
6.  Click on Update button.
7. On the Custom Fields page, find the name of your custom field and click on the icon in the right > 'Configure'.
8. Click on the link 'Edit default value'.
9. Type the description you wish to be populated as the default for that given field.
10. Click on the 'Set Default' button.
