    Change you grep to this:

    grep -m1 -Po 'JCC-\d{3,4}]?:\h*\K.*' temp.txt

    In your script:

    DESCRIPTION=$(grep -m1 -Po 'JCC-\d{3,4}]?:\h*\K.*' temp.txt) ||
echo "Something went wrong"

    Note that JCC string has optional ] afterwards and you also need to use -m1 to grab only first match. \h* is also good to use to disallow leading spaces in output.
