Despite this is marked as "Solved", I spent quite a few hours trying to understand how to fix this. 

You need to create a Text Field, and convert it to WIKI style text field. This way you will be able to post URL. 

Here is 5 minute video which I have created on how to do this.

Hi Deepak,

You can apply a "Wiki style renderer" for any custom field of type "Free text field" or "Text field". More information available here

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA041/Configuring+Rich-Text+Renderers

In your field configuration, you need to select the type of renderer for the custom field you are trying to use as a rich text field.
