Go to the particular Field Configuration and find the Description field. Click "Edit" and in the description for this field add text similar to the following:

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
if (document.getElementById("description").value == "") {
document.getElementById("description").value = "*Steps to Reproduce* \n\n\n\n*Expected Results* \n\n\n\n*Actual Results* \n";
}
&lt;/script&gt;

You cannot give default text without populating it using Javascript or something. Using Javascript maybe an idea though!.

Another option is to use a description (by editing the description field in the field configuration) that asks the user to enter ther description in the said format.

Is this for a custom field you are creating? What is the context? You can edit this sort of thing in the .vm file. I have just created a custom field and have specified name, default values etc so I would assume you could do the same for the description field.

I just want to add the stuff I mentioned previously.

I want the description field to show this text in it.
