Velocity file

[SRIDHAR]

I have a select list and the default value is "Please Select a value from the list" . When the user has choosen default value. I want to display as Not Applicable instead of Please Select a value from the list.

How do we write condition display in edit.vm velocity file. I tried few options but it is not working. How do we write condition display in Jira velocity file?

You need to tell us what you've tried really.

Personally, I'd take a different approach and edit the actual text that's coming through - https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Customizing+Text
