How do I create a default entry for the description field specific to a project?

Inayat Nahvi

This worked in JIRA 4.1.1, but not after upgrading to JIRA 5.2.10. In 4.1.1, I would go to the field configuration of a specific project. Within it, I would go to the Description field, click on edit, and type my java script. Then, whenever a new issue is created in this specific project, a default text would appear within the description box.

However, this is no longer working in JIRA 5.2.10. Any suggestions? Keep in mind, I want the description field to be populated with default text only for a particular project, not all projects. Thanks.

He need it in the specific project so it need to be in the field configuration of all the issue type wanted for that project, its easier that way.

Hello, in your specific field configuration just put this and it will work with jira 5.2

AJS.$("#description").val("default value");

</script>

try with this script by adding it in announcement banner for testing purpose

<script type="text/javascript">
function addDefaultValue() {
//need to add condition here
 AJS.$("#description").val("default value");
}
(function($) {
    AJS.toInit(function(){
    // init on load
    addDefaultValue()
});
 
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e, context) {
    // init on refresh
    addDefaultValue()
});
 
})(AJS.$);
 
</script>

Hi guys,

There is Default Values plugin available for JIRA. It allows to define default value for description and number of other fields (per project and issue type):

Hi, this sounds like something I need too.

I have JIRA 6.4.12.

I don't understand what to do with that piece of code. Can you help me?
