If it helps or even makes any sense for you 🙂 There are two editors in Jira. The screenshot you have shared is of the old editor style. In it, markdown is not supported.
Another common inquiry is “Does Jira Cloud support Markdown?”.
There is “real” markdown support using one of several markdown apps from the Marketplace. Jira Cloud: Support is about half and half at the moment. Places that have been ported over (mostly just looking at issues on boards at the moment) do support markdown. The “old” issue view does not currently.
Can I use Markdown in the Atlassian editor?
The Atlassian editor supports markdown formatting for rich text fields. This makes it quick and easy to add headings, lists, code blocks, and more to your descriptions, comments, and other rich text fields. You can copy raw markdown into the Atlassian editor but you can’t convert content from it into raw markdown. Created with Sketch.
Create and edit Markdown using plain text syntax or with familiar editor shortcuts. Style or format data, view content in multiple modes, run spellcheck, autosave work, reference helpful syntax hints, and more.
What is an issue in Jira?
In Jira, Issues are tasks or bugs that contain two parts. The first part is two or more upper case letters, and the second part is the numerical Jira issue number. An example is DEC-12 You can link pull requests in the same repository or a different repository Syntax we can use the below syntax to link the same project and repository.
Another frequently asked query is “What is the most buggiest Jira editor you have ever used?”.
JIRA’s WYSIWYG editor is the most buggiest editor I have ever used in my entire career. Its high time they let is die peacefully and start using markdown which is more stable in my opinion. Now that we have tons of addon’s for mark down. You must be a registered user to add a comment.
