Table default value for Text Field (multi-line) costume field

Dana.Harel

I want to create a default value for a Text Field (multi-line) costume field.

The default value which I would like to add is a table.

I tried to add the following text: " ||*test*|| "

However, when I create the issue type the text doesn't appear as a table.

I know that this works in an automation and a table is being created.

Please advise if there is a way to create a default table

Thanks

Hi @Dana.Harel , while editing a text field in the edit issue view supports markdown, it appears that the editor in the Default value screen does not. I am wondering if, rather than Default, you could use Automation to accomplish your goal?

Hi, Dana,

On the field configuration for your custom field, select *Wiki Style Rendering* and the renderer. I was just testing this on a local Data Center instance (version 8.20.8 for reference) and with this default:

 * This is a test value
* Another points
|| Table com 1| table column2|
| b1 | b2 ||
* Another bullet

I have this on the screen:

See if the same applies to Cloud!

Hi @Jack Brickey nice to meet you!

I want to know if its possible to already define by default that when I'm creating the issue from scratch - a table will appear inside the field.

The problem with using an automation is that the automation will run only after the issue is created , and i want the table to be pre-inserted to the field so who ever creates the issue can already fill in the details in the table.

Indeed that seems to work. Thanks @Filipi Lima

Hi @Filipi Lima @Jack Brickey Thanks for the comment

It seems like i dont have the option to choose *Wiki Style Rendering* and the renderer.

HI @Dana.Harel , the rendered configuration is on the Field Configuration. I can see it just below the Custom Fields option on the left-menu.

See if you can edit the Renderer there for your field.

Hi @Jack Brickey
Currently I am facing the same issue. The default field value seems not to be added if the required field is on the edit screen. On the create screen it appears immediately, really sad. You mentioned Automation but I have the same use case as @Dana.Harel - I also need the table at a specific part of the worklflow (part of a transition screen), but I think therefore I have to search another solution.

The default value does not support markdown but it does support markUP (the old way).

For instance this doesn't work...
