Document Format Link Markings Don't Work In Issue Descriptions?

[chillaiur]

According to the documentation on link markings linked below, the following format should allow links to appear in the description of the issues I am creating via the JIRA restful API. 

{
  "type": "doc",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "paragraph",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "Photo 1\n",
          "marks": [
            {
              "type": "link",
              "attrs": {
                "href": "link1"
              }
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "Photo 2\n",
          "marks": [
            {
              "type": "link",
              "attrs": {
                "href": "link2"
              }
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "Photo 3",
          "marks": [
            {
              "type": "link",
              "attrs": {
                "href": "link3"
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "version": 1
}

In fact, if you paste that into the Document Viewer tool, it does indeed work.

However, instead, I am seeing the following behavior.

- The text appears in the issue as described, but no URL linking is available. 

- Once you edit the issue, the URL linking to the text becomes available. 

Furthermore, I have found that even when editing the issue, the links are not really there. 

See the screenshots below...

Please help.  I don't know if I am just doing something wrong or if this is some sort of a bug. I am sure it is more likely that I am just missing something. 

EDIT: Also, I know the example doesn't actually reference real link URLs.  However, this behavior is definitely occurring with real links, as well.
