Does Atlassian change the syntax for the description of filed ?

[chihara]

Recently, I found that field's description is not compatible for former.

For example,

• List is no longer displayed as former
• Newline is changed to "\\" but not valid in {color:red}... {color}

Does anyone know what syntax I have to use?

Hi @chihara

Yes, Jira description is used to support a limited wiki-style markup.

I think this will help you.

Thank you,

But those markup syntax are not working as before.

For example,

• List motation "*" "**" "***" are not valid in new description.
  • inputting "* AAA // ** BBB" shows "* AAA" only
• inside {color:red} ... {color},  can't use newline or "//".

and so on.

For the * AAA // ** BBB
Try this one --> * AAA
                          * BBB

If you must separate them inline, use | or ; instead.

For Color Tags.

{color:red}Text{color} this works for inline text only. You can not use line breaks or special characters like // inside the color block.

For the color try this one.

{panel:bgColor=#FFEBE6}
This is a highlighted panel with simulated color
{panel}

As you can see image as I attached, new  "Description" of field is able to input characters in only one line,  

* AAA

* BBB

as you described are not allowed. 

For the panel,, we must input as "{panel:bgColor=#FFEBE6}This is a highlighted panel with simulated color{panel}", no newline in it.

Thank you.

Hi @chihara
