How to format new Jira cards in a Slack Workflow

[João Paulo Oliveira Cruz]

Hello,

I'm making a small workflow to automate some new tasks. I would like the created card to have a few bold parts, but the Slack Workflow text editor doesn't have formatting buttons. I tried adding *asterisks* around the text, which didn't work either. It just created the card with the asterisks.

While we're at it, it seems like the Workflow is adding some unwanted line breaks that I can't remove, especially before adding a variable gathered on the previous Workflow step.

Has anyone had similar problems? If so, how did you work around them?

Thank you :)

I don't believe that is supports markup formatting.  I am assuming that you are trying to bold text in a description, is that correct?
