Hi @Melissa Doherty Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, this is available in Jira Cloud.
In the new issue view editor, you can add a collapsible section using the Expand macro.
Just type /expand inside the Description field and select “Expand” from the menu. This inserts a collapsible block where you can hide or show content.

So even though the old wiki-style {expand} markup is not supported anymore, the Cloud editor does support collapsible sections through this built-in Expand option.

Hope it helps!

A funcionalidade de expandir/recolher (collapse) no campo Descrição já existe nativamente no Jira Cloud. Não é necessário ativar nada. A seta de expansão aparece automaticamente somente no campo padrão “Descrição”, quando o texto é longo o suficiente para ser contraído.

Alguns pontos importantes:

  • A opção só funciona na Nova Issue View do Jira Cloud.
  • Campos de texto personalizados não possuem essa funcionalidade.
  • A seta aparece apenas quando o conteúdo da descrição é grande.
  • O comportamento visual pode variar entre projetos team-managed e company-managed, mas sempre funciona no campo padrão.
