Is there a way to display project description on the main page?

[Gintare Simkute]

Hi, 

I am creating new project in JIRA and would like to have project description/summary view on the main project view.

Now, if I want to view the details of the project, I have to go to settings -> Projects -> chose the project and only then I could see what this project is about. Please let me know how to do it on the main page?

Hi Robert,

Though it would probably be the next tool i would resort to, it doesn't really fill our need very well, since what we really need is auto filled content, that will appear in the description field every time we create a new task. 

It could be content like below for a bug: 

Issue description:

or something like this for a new User Story:

I know this is old, but I can't find the way to accomplish what you are requesting @Victor Nelleman. Could you solve it?

@Victor Nelleman I'm also looking for something similar. Were you able to solve this?

I think that you can use required custom fields for this purpose: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/adding-a-custom-field-185729521.html

Lead your people into adding what must be added to issues by making fields that MUST be filled in on issues. This is about the same as creating a template that people must follow.

I hope this helps.

A custom field is not going to solve the template need. There is a reason people need the ticket content in specific formats.
