I would like to add a table to a jira ticket automatically upon created of Jira in a project ticket, so that it will guide users to fill out the table of values.

Hi Marina,

You can create a new custom field of Paragraph type. Then edit the Contexts and Default Value for the field to add your table into the Default value field. You can change the renderer of the field to Wiki Style if you need that but changing it in the Field Configuration for the project.

Hi @Marina Maharaj, 

You can use automation for Jira to fill some fields' data automatically.

Here is an overview of how automation for Jira works

Here is how you can fill any "paragraph" field with a table using wiki-markup, e.g. Description

I hope this helps.

Hi @Melo 

I successfully automated a table to be added into the Description of certain issues, however this comes with a text version of the markup too (e.g. |-|-|-| ) 

Is there a way to remove this default text in addition to the actual table that is added? 

Thanks!
