Example : 
When I copy this in Description : 

{panel:bgColor=#deebff} *Description* _En tant que_ *_blabla_* _Je veux_ *_pouvoir sélectionner un contrat terminé et ensuite 1 ou plusieurs BS de ce contrat_* _Afin de_ *_demander un recalcul des cotisations pour ces BS_* {panel}

I want the view with the color and all the format for the text

Hi @Arnaud Masclet 

Welcome to the community.

How are you copying this into the description, via automation or?

HI @Arnaud Masclet 

To keep this information as is, you need to do the copy with automation, as the description field is based on rich text and not html.

Via automation you could paste html.

I want to copy an oldest version of the description (saved in historic tab of the ticket) in the Description field.

the text in the historic part is ok but i lost all the color and visual organisation when i do this
