custom field default value wiki renderer

Sam_3upvkn

I have a custom field set to render with the wiki renderer. This custom field has default text pre-populated. This issue I am seeing is that the wiki renderer applies the OLD markup to what should be the NEW markup

 

example:

# text here //should render an h1

## text here //should render an h2

Instead the `#` is rendering as an ordered list - per the old wiki markup spec.

How can i update this to use the new markup?

 

includes screenshots if that helps

Hi Samuel,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!
The new issue view uses the markdown editor and the old view uses the wiki markup editor.
That being said, the '#' is used for Heading on markdown and the custom fields still use wiki markup renderer, so it would work with 'h1.', for example.

If you add h1. Publisher and h2. Acceptance Criteria details here, you will see that the field will show correctly the format and it will work only on Classic project with the new view disabled.
If you want to disable the new view, please, go to your Personal settings and disable the Jira Labs.

On the links below you can find the syntax for markdown and markup:
