Table in custom field

Question

I created a custom multi-line text field that has wiki-style renderer and want that to contain a table. I set the table in default, but the table is not showing up on that field. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

|cell A1|cell A2|cell A3|

|cell B1|cell B2|cell B3|

I even tried to replace cell with col, but still to no avail.

@Tobias H - when you say "quite old," how old are we talking? I ask because I created a project about a month ago, included the steps I did above, and it worked just fine.

Hi @Jason Chayer!

Table is not a supported through markdown in the "New Issue View" (that is quite old now). That's why it's not working. Table has been moved into Macros now.

You can find even more info on why here (thank @Ste Wright's comment):

* JRACLOUD-69259
* Dev update on markdown 
* Support markdown

With that said, you can circumvent it with a bit of janky workaround automation:

In my example I used manual trigger, but you can of course use "When issue created" to have it done automatically.
