HTML in read only Text Field is escaped after Upgrade to JIRA 7.1.4

Michel Pittelko1

Hi there,

recently we upgraded to JIRA Software 7.1.4 with JSD 3.1.4.

I just recognized, that one of my groovy script filled fields are not displayed correctly anymore.

The field I am using is of type "Text Field (read only)".

The link is not formatted as html tag anymore and is displayed as raw text, see example below:

<a href="/browse/DESK-790?jql=project%20%3D%20DESK%20and%20reporter%20%3D%20%22yildira1%22%20and%20key%20%21%3D%20%22DESK-976%22%20and%20status%20in%20(Erledigt%2C%20Resolved)%20and%20issuetype%20%3D%20%22St%C3%B6rungsmeldung%22">Geschlossene Vorgänge</a>

 

This worked prior to upgrading from 6.4.8 to 7.1.4.

Is there any way to get this working again?

 

Thank you and best regards

Michel

I don't think this is a ScriptRunner issue. I don't know what plugin provides that field, but it looks like they've (sensibly) decided to escape the HTML, to avoid XSRF attacks.

You could use a regular text field and set the renderer to wiki markup, then write the link using JIRA wiki markup.
