Description

Insert default description template

When a user starts to report an issue, the on-change rule in this module checks the description field. If the description is empty, default text is inserted. The default text is inserted as soon as the user starts writing the summary or sets the value of an issue field. If the user immediately enters text in the Description field, the default text is not inserted.
