      Atlassian Update – August 2024

      Hi everyone,

      Thank you for raising and voting on Default Description Templates. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping and enhancing Jira for all users.

      Given the high volume of feature suggestions for Jira and issues in particular, we must prioritize those that provide the most value to the majority of our users. After a thorough review by the team, we have decided that we will not be able to implement Default Description Templates in the immediate future, but we hope the workaround described below using plugins is helpful.

      Please remember that jira.atlassian.com is only one of many inputs for our roadmap. We’re continuously learning, analysing and interviewing customers to make Jira better. We encourage you to also share your feedback through Atlassian Community. Please also check out latest updates and upcoming plans from the Jira Cloud roadmap and the Atlassian Cloud release notes blog.

      We understand that our decision may be disappointing. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or feedback.

      Regards,
      Angela Hawkins

      Problem Definition

      JIRA Users would like the ability to set a default value in description fields.

      Suggested Solution

      Provide ability to have a template to set default values for issues in the description field.

      Workaround

      1. Explained in this KB article: Setting a Default Value in the Description Field.
        This requires editing of server files, thus is not possible in JIRA Cloud.
      2. Default Values Add-On (Now available for Cloud)
      3. Issue Templates Agent - fields, multi project, permissions (available on the Cloud)
