Problem

The following problem can be solved by Live Fields, included in the Power Scripts™ for Jira app. Please also read the documentation regarding accessing the current screen with live fields.

Problem

To provide default values for fields in the create screen, can be changed by the user.

Solution

Here is how you can set the default values on create screen for a specifc specific project.

Let's consider we have a rule, by setting the description, components and affectedVersions on the create issue screen . This allows the reporter  reporter to set some fields when the issue is created.

First set up your Live Fields to watch for issueType and project

lfInstantHook({"issueTypeproject", "projectissueType"}, "hook.sil");
lfWatch("issueType", {"issueType", "project"}, "hook.sil");

On our hook, we react to the event by setting the fields to what we wish for:

if(argv["screen"] == "create" && contains(argv["project"] ==, "DEMO") && argv["issueType"] == "Bug") {
   //on Create Issue screen
	lfSet("description", "WhatPlease describe what's Happeninghappening: \n\n" +
                         "What Shouldyou think should be Happeninghappening: \n" +
                         "Where it's Foundfound: \n" + 
                         "Steps to Reproducereproduce: \n#action 1\n#action 2\n#action3");
    lfSet("components", {"jjupinui", "dbcfbusiness"});
    lfSet("affectedVersions", {"1.0.1", "1.0.2"});
}

That's all.
