Write an Azure DevOps bug from this description: [DESCRIPTION]. Product area: [AREA]. Environment: [ENVIRONMENT]. Attachments available: [ATTACHMENTS].

Fill in the fields: a specific title (area, symptom and condition), repro steps (numbered, one action each, free of guesses about causes and opinion), system info, the build or version where it was seen and whether it occurred before, expected and actual results, severity with the reason (the team decides), and frequency. State how many steps are needed to reproduce it. Suggest area path and tags.

Add a short checklist of what a developer asks first: does it happen for every user, since when, and is there a workaround? List what is missing from my description and write questions for the reporter. If the description sounds like a feature request, say so and offer a story instead. Keep attachments referenced by name, and say which screenshot or log shows which step. Do not include customer data or secrets in the report; use [TEST DATA] placeholders where an example is needed.

Fill in before use

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details, then paste into Any AI or another assistant.

Title: Checkout button does nothing after applying a discount code (web, Chrome).
Repro steps: 1. Add any item to the basket. 2. Open the basket. 3. Enter code TEST10 and select Apply. 4. Select Checkout. Expected: payment page opens. Actual: nothing happens and no message appears. Frequency: 5 of 5 attempts. Environment: staging build 2.14, Chrome on Windows. Severity: major, because discounted orders cannot be completed; the team decides final severity. Workaround: remove the code. Missing information: does it occur on other browsers, and does a code with a fixed amount behave the same?

Illustrative only, made-up data. Your results will differ and must be reviewed.
