Hi @Vivek Garg ,

First a question, do you work with Jira Server (on premise) or with Jira Cloud? In your question you mention Server but the labels indicate Cloud.

Then regarding your question, with Automation you can edit the description and add data here. See attached screenshot.
See als this link with information about smart values.

Hi @Vivek Garg 

If you want the description to be pre-filled during the ticket creation, then you have to use Scriptrunner's behaviors and write a small script for it. Here you can have a quick look at Behaviors https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/latest/features/behaviours

In this thread there is also a script you can use https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-discussions/How-to-populate-Description-field-with-default-value-based-on/td-p/1548120
