Wen I use hspecial symbols like & in Date time picker field on defalt it shows as & in screen

We are seeing an HTML-escaping issue with custom field names in Jira Cloud.
Custom field name is: "Current Date & Time"
Field type: Date Time Picker

Issue:
On multiple Jira screens (Create Issue, Transition screens, and Custom Field Defaults),
the field label is rendered as:

Current Date & Time

Instead of:
Current Date & Time

Observations:
- Custom Fields list shows the name correctly as "Current Date & Time"
- Translate Field screen has no translated values set
- Renaming the field (including forced rename to a different value and back) does not resolve the issue
- Issue reproduces across different browsers and machines
- Replacing '&' with 'AND' displays correctly everywhere
- This confirms the issue is related to HTML escaping of '&'

Impact:
This is user-facing and causes confusion, with multiple users reporting the incorrect label.

Expected behavior:
Jira should correctly decode '&' and display '&' consistently across all screens.

This appears to be a UI rendering bug where the '&' character is escaped but not decoded on certain legacy or hybrid Jira Cloud screens.

Good evening, yes this is a common problem when you need to use HTML, I suffer a lot with Refined and Confluence documentation, but let's find a solution for your problem. First option: What you can do today (workarounds) Unfortunately, there is no admin setting that “forces” the decoding of this. The practical options are:

Avoid & in the field name

Instead of Current Date & Time, use:

Current Date and Time

Current Date/Time

Current Date + Time

This matches your observation that replacing it with AND or another character solves it.

If you want to keep the symbol visually, use description or help text

Leave the field name without & and put something like:

Name: Date and Time

Description (field description): Date & time of registration.

As this is a rendering issue with the Jira Cloud UI:

The fix only comes through an update from Atlassian itself.

The way forward is to open a ticket with Atlassian support attaching:

Screenshot where & appears

Exact name of the field

Field type (Date Time Picker)

Information that:

In Custom fields it appears normal

In screens X, Y, Z it appears with &

Replacing & with AND removes the problem, try opening a ticket and ask the community to vote; this could help.
