Why I can't add the "node()" text to the Issue body or comment?

Murz_crhdw3

In our Jira v8.22.3 instance we can't put the "node()" text into the Issue body (description of the task), even if it is placed inside code block!

If I put this "node()" into the text - on save process I'm getting the error "Invalid URL" with description like this:

Extra information: 11689269343140253972

Same problem is when we try to add a comment with the "node()" text, but for comments - it submits well without any error shown, but just disappears after submitting! That's especially annoying, because I'm losing all my comment text (it disappears so I need to type it again from scratch!).

Our team have a lot of code parts with "node()" text, so bumps into this bug very often!

And the workarounds:

1. If I add a space between like this "node ()" - it starts working.

But if I have a surrounding text like "my_function_for_node()" - it doesn't help.

2. Paste the code as image.

Does anybody have any idea what can be the source of that issue?

Maybe some plugin can cause this problem? How can I figure-out which one exactly?

I've tested this on other Jira instance (version 9.0.0) and on that one it works - I can add a comment with "asdas node() asdasd".

And on another instance with Jira v8.20.11 - it works too!

But on my Jira instance (version v8.22.3) - Jira still doesn't allow this substring in comment text

So maybe this bug was already fixed in some recent versions, even in minor 8.x.x branch?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

It's not an app, node() is a function in Jira, it's giving you system information about the Jira server/DC you're running.

I don't think there's a way to turn it off, but I would check the dark feature flags to see if there might be one that does it in your version. (As a system admin, go to <Jira base URL>/secure/admin/SiteDarkFeatures!default.jspa and read over the flags in there. Be warned, here be dragonnes - changing these settings can break stuff and Atlassian don't have to support you)

I think this should be raised with Atlassian ideally. Go to https://support.atlassian.com/contact and raise something for server

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- Thanks for the detailed explanation!

So the issue with unable to add a text with "node()" substring is reproducible on your Jira instance too, with the same unclear error text? Even inside code block? That's very strange that no one report this before...

Yep, I replicated it on an 8.22 Data Center install, that's how I knew how to talk about it. I'd also seen it on a very early DC version, it was a debugging function, telling you something about the node that the page was being served from.

I didn't know they'd turned it off in some versions, and then, by the look of it, accidentally enabled it in 8.22!
