How can I avoid unintended conversions when using the REST API to register a description of an ISSUE

Tashiro, Hideyuki

When using the JIRA REST API to register a description of an issue, \(two backslashes) may or may not be converted to a newline. (See pattern below).

Can you please tell me what kind of pattern is used to convert them to newlines and how to prevent them from being converted to newlines?

 

・If ”\\/” is set, the description is registered in the state of ”\\/”.

・If ”\\n” is set, the description is registered in the state of ”\\n”.

・If ”\\r” is set, the description is registered in the state of ”\\r”.

・If ”\\uXXXX” is set, the description is registered in the state of ”\\uXXXX”.

・If ”\b” is set, Description is registered in the state of line feed and b.

・If ”\t” is set, Description is registered in the state of line feed and t.

・If ”\f” is set, Description is registered in the state of line feed and f.

Hi @Tashiro, Hideyuki

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Can you let us know which programming language/tool you are using to perform the REST requests? As long as your programming language properly escapes the content, you shouldn't need to worry about this.

Cheers,
Matthias.
