One thing I recently found out is that updating the second element in a cascading select field does not trigger any behaviour execution.

So it will not be possible to populate the Details field when the second element is selected.

You either have to define your default off of the first element only or rely on some other trigger (like a checkbox field like "Check me to load default details")

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def cascadingFld = getFieldByName('cascading field name')
def detailsFLd = getFieldByName('Details')
if(detailsFld.value) return //don't do anything if Details is already populated

if(cascadingFld.value && cascadingFld.value[0] == 'First level value to cause default'){
    def defaultDetails = """\
        Please fill in the details below:
        
        Label/Name:
        Level:
        Parent:
        Has Child?:
        Icon:
        Location:
        Content/Page:
        """.stripIndent()
    detailsFld.setFormValue(defaultDetails)
}
