Hi Shane,

If you want to avoid Javascript I would avoid the Description field. It isn't a customfield and doesn't allow setting default value as such.

You can create a custom field to do this instead. Give it a different name and add it to the screens. Otherwise Javascript would be the closest option.

Thanks All,

I will try using a custom field instead and see how that goes.

So in effect it cannot be done easily from the user interface, you need to write some javascript to get it put in there is that correct?

Thanks Harry,

If i did not need to decipher between bugs and just wanted to make the blanket change, how could I do this without using javascript.

Cheers

Since you need to determine if it's a bug or not and not simply apply it to all cases, you'll need Javascript.

Hi Shane,

you can use Post Function on transition to update Description field value, but I don't know how to demarcate only for Bugs.
