Can I render HTML in a JIRA? (JIRA Version: 3.13.4)

Juliette_Vincent

Open to wacky suggestions!

I want an HTML table to display, not as HTML but as the actual table. I am aware that this can be done on pages on which the user has the capacity to enter data into fields, such as on the "Edit this issue" page, (by entering the HTML into a field's description), but I need it to display in the JIRA itself.

I am using JIRA version 3.13.4, and upgrading to a later version is unfortunately not an option.
Thanks!

I don't understand where this table should go? "In the JIRA itself" contradicts "the user has the capacity to enter data into fields"

Seriously though, upgrade.

It isn't a contradiction. When a user clicks into the JIRA to view it they have the capacity to enter comments... they do not have the capacity to add or modify the values stored in fields. They gain that capacity when they move onto a different page.

This matters because each field has a description, which displays if the user can add or modify the values stored in fields, such as when on the "Edit this issue" page. If I add HTML to the description, it will render on the page. But if the user is simply viewing the JIRA, the descriptions are not present, therefore neither is the HTML.

I was deliberately vague about the location of the HTML table, because I'll take any suggestion at this point, whether it's displaying it within a field, or a comment, or elsewhere on the page.

Believe me, upgrading really, really isn't possible.

This still doesn't answer the question. Where do you want this table to go? Let me ask this differently. Is this table issue data, or is it static non-issue data?

What do you mean by issue data or static non-issue data?
