Why is issue type description not displayed?

mamamic April 7, 2015

I've created my own field configuration where I edit descriptions for certain fields.

all of them seem to work except "Issue Type" one. I am running a relatively old JIRA instance (version 5.2) but this i cannot change because of a coorporate licence.

Any ideas why this happens?

The description does not display in the issue creation screen. I tested in 6+ version as well

Is this by design or a bug that I discovered?

It is by design.

Sorry, could not reply since i need more than 25 points to post more than 3 messages in 24 hours?!?!? So, the question is - why do you have a details text box under issue type field then?

I am aware the custom fields Description is visible in the issuenavigator. But not sure of this. I will check and get back

Hi

Where do you want the description to appear. Is it during the issue creation or in the excel report.

It's the issue creation screen
