How to maintain format in Description field during import?

[Keyana Buckner]

When importing a CSV file into JIRA to bulk create tickets, all fields map just fine and the import is successful. But any formatting that existed inside the description field in the csv file, like bullets, numbers, spacing, etc is completely erased and is just all bunched together. 

Is there a way to code in formatting into the csv file that will translate during the import?

HI @Keyana Buckner 

I think that you will need to use html code in your description field in the CSV field. Try this "{color:red}your description{color}"

Hope this helps
