A clear summary of the issue. Add this in the title of your issue to help the team to direct the issue to the right expert.

The steps to take to reproduce the issue, if possible. If you aren’t sure, describe the sequence of events that led to the problem. Your test case, or use case is also very helpful.

A full description of the problem and any error that was encountered. Your test and use cases can provide us with guidance on where we need to focus our investigations. Include the time at which you encountered the issue.
