In a JPD-item I use the big text field (is it called description?) to describe that what/why/when etc. of an item on my roadmap.
I also make use of various standard and custom fields to group/select JPD-items in various dashboards.
It would be nice if the text field could show the value of the fields.
For example:
JPD-item has attribute 'Goal' with various custom values (e.g. A, B C) and for the particular item value A was selected.
In the descriptive text I'd like to do something like:
"We are working on goal <goal-value for this item> and therefore the next step is bla bla.
This will help <customersegment-value for this item>, because bla bla
Hi @Jaap Francke -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
There is nothing built-in to dynamically lookup that information (other than for issue keys and issue lists).
A workaround for your scenario would be to use automation rules to update the Description field when the other fields change. This can be a brittle solution as it relies upon the Description maintaining a known layout to support the text replacement. (e.g., knowing where the Goal text should be inserted)
If you want to try this, here is some information to get you started on creating your rule:
