Hi,

This question is in continuation with my previous one.

I have a description field which is calculated based on value of an enumeration. (Code written in the previous question).
The content of description field is something like this.

Description of the Issue:
How it was found:
Steps to reproduce:

Now, I want users to enter their observation in description. System is allowing me to edit the description field.
However as soon as I save it, all the information is gone and the description field is again set to the one written above.

I know the script which I have written sets the Description field to the value I have given. But is there any way to keep that value as well as the changes done?

HI Suchita,

The return value should include the previous your description.

Read the older description using : var old_description = workItem.getValue( WorkItemAttributes.DESCRIPTION);

Append this value to the return : return old_description + calculated_enum_val;

hope this helps.

Regards, Dinesh
