How to insert tables in the description using "direct HTML links"

josper04

Hi folks,

I am using direct HTML links ( https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-create-issues-using-direct-html-links-in-jira-server-159474.html ) to set a default content in the Description field.

But I have issues adding tables in the direct HTML link.
I want to insert something like that:

Hello world!
|col A1|col A2|col A3|
|col B1|col B2|col B3|

 using this link:

http://[JIRA BASE URL]/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10420&issuetype=2
&description=Hello world!\\|col A1|col A2|col A3|\\|col B1|col B2|col B3|

 
But my table is not formmated. 


Do you know if that is possible and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot,
J.

@josper04 you will need to follow correct syntax formatting for a URL https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-create-issues-using-direct-html-links-in-jira-server-159474.html

You cannot have spaces and you will need to make sure that non of the characters you are using are not allowed in a URL.
