Auto-populate the jira description field with standard text

[SteveK]

It's our team's practice that all jira items contain the following standard text to increase level of detail for ability to duplicate an issue:

*************************

STEPS TO REPRO:

1.

EXPECTED RESULT:

ACTUAL RESULT:

CHANGES REQUIRED:

*************************

Is there a way to auto-populate the description field for all jira items with standard text such as this?

Hi Steve,

I'm not sure if this is possible in OnDemand but in "normal" JIRA you would just change the field configuration of the description system field 'description'
to the following Javascript code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var description = document.getElementById("description");
if (!description.value || description.value == "") {
description.value = "**********\nSTEPS TO REPRO\n...." ;
}
</script>

If this cannot be done the other alternative is see is a speakeasy plugin extension. Again i do not know if this is available in OnDemand.

So let's hope this answer already helps :-)

Best regards,

Dieter

Thank you so much Dieter. I looked for this for a while. Wish it's listed in the documentation https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA044/Setting+a+Default+Value+in+the+Description+Field as other suggestions.

JIRA Ondemand doesn't support javascript hacks, unfortunately!
