nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How do I write details within the description box through markup or using html tags?

Tabita Rebello

I need to add bulleting, numbering, highlights using markup language. How do I do that using the current JIRA version?

E.g. prior, I could do this <color:red> This is red text </color>

Hey @Tabita Rebello when you say previously what do you mean?

In another organisation with a different instance? How long ago?

So many questions.

Generally if you could do it, but can't do it now it could be that:

it was perhaps a server/data centre version of jira and now you're on cloud
it was a feature in cloud that was removed from the core function
it was a feature that was enabled by a marketplace app that appeared on the previous instance you used, but that app isn't on the current version you use

Some more context will help

circa 2014..

So from what I read, the option seems deprecated. How can I format the description seamlessly? The latest version of JIRA makes bullets and numbering so difficult ! Thought add html tags would help solve for this.

Oh yes, I've found a lot has changed since then

Generally (well I've found) if something has been depreciated, there's usually a marketplace app to provide a solution.

For example you could check out an app like this https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223462/html-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview, trial it and see if that works.

The marketplace has also grown massively since 2014!
