How to show a custom field with a table as a default value on a transition screen.

Joe Milner-Smith

I have a custom field on my issue that has a table as a default value. I did this my using the below to generate the table. 

||Heading1||Heading2||Heading3||Heading4|| |cell A1|cell A2|cell A3|cell A4| |cell B1|cell B2|cell B3|cell B4| |cell C1|cell C2|cell C3|cell C4|

This will produce a table in the custom field nicely when the issue is created. 

I would then like this table to have information entered into it when the issue transitions into a specific status. The problem I have is that when I set the transition screen to show the custom field, it doesn't show the table, it shows the above text. 

Is there a way to have the table shown on the transition screen?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Joe Milner-Smith 

Based upon this in-progress suggestion, there appears to be work happening to add markdown to transition screen fields: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-80133
