Create page link doesn't render markup

Question

I followed the steps in

https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-questions/Re-Re-Embed-JIRA-issue-collector/qaq-p/2367086/comment-id/271974#M271974

and was able to create a functioning issue creation page, which is awesome.

The issue is that the description (and other rich text fields) doesn't render markup on edit. Anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately the field is already set to Wiki Style Renderer. The odd part is it works fine when you click the 'create' button from the board view. Something about the link is causing issues.

Hi @Michael Bell

The Jira Issue Collector does not support rich text or Jira markup (e.g., {colour:red} coloured text {colour}) in fields like Description. To fix this:

Enable Wiki Style Renderer – Go to Jira Administration > Field Configurations and set the Description field to Wiki Style Renderer for better formatting.

Use Markdown Instead – In Jira Cloud, {colour} tags won’t work, but you can use Markdown (**bold**, _italic_) for formatting.

Hope this helps!
