Since I'm unable to actually submit a bug report because I'm on a free cloud plan, I'm posting here in hopes that someone will see it.
Today I ticked a checkbox on a to-do item in an issue on Jira. The issue is a child issue. When I ticked the box, the issue refreshed its description which removed all of the information that had been there, and was replaced with the exact same text as the parent issue.
I was able to restore the description by viewing the ticket's history and copy-pasting the description from the last edit. I attempted to recreate the bug but on the second time, when I ticked the box, the description stuck.
Hi @Sam
Thanks for posting the video of this behavior. It looks like there is a bug in regards to the way Jira is trying to update that subtask. I created a support case on your behalf over in https://getsupport.atlassian.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/23/JST-1105080
I was not yet able to find any existing bug reports that matched the behavior in your video, but I expect that our support team can investigate this further.

Sounds good! It's not a huge deal in that it's not impeding my work or anything. Just irritating. I figured you'd want to know about it. Thanks for filing a ticket for me!

Well, always nice to know I'm not alone! This ticket was created for this bug, but was closed when I couldn't reproduce it anymore on my end. I'll comment on it to let them know they have another case!

Hi @Sam ,
Welcome in the community! Do you have any Jira automation? Go to the Activity tab and check who / what updated your Description field.

Hey @Kate Pawlak _Appsvio_ , I don't have any automation set up. In the Activity tab, it says that I was the one who updated it. I actually just now managed to recreate the bug on another ticket and captured a screen recording of it happening:

(I know it kind of looks like this video is edited together from multiple clips when it jumps, but I promise this is just one single screen capture that is unedited, aside from trimming unnecessary extra footage at the beginning)

This looks really weird. I was trying to recreate this bug on my instance but everything works correct.
I'll recommend you to go to Project settings > Automation and check if there is no automation configured. Also you can explore global automation rules: System > Global automation.
If you don't see any automation, I'll escalate this issue to Atlassian team.

Thanks for screens. I've already requested Atlassian team to look into this issue.

there's no rhyme or reason why they get deleted - but sometimes the check boxes stand and save correctly, and other times when check something - the description clears out
