Example:

The possible values for "Priority" are the following ones (by default it's setted Medium, in case is required to be modify needs to be manually):

• Low
• Medium
• High

For Classification the only one accepted for now are: TechDebt

All values will be set automatically, the only values will be required to be updated are Description and possible action, where description basically describes the issue found, can be a bad implementation, guidelines not implemented, refactor is required, etc. for Possible action it will be a possible action will be taken in order to fix the issue found.
