nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Using jira-cli, how can I set a multiline Description?

Raye Raskin1

All the examples show a single line Description, much like Summary, but this is not very usable. I haven't been able to figure out how to set a multiline description.

How is this done?

Thanks!

Yes, it isn't obvious . Best place to look for this type of thing is Examples . Use " \n " and the blanks are important.

I just tested this with createProject command

--description "A new Jira \n Project I\"' \n created" 

Result was the description was
A new Jira \n Project I"' \n created

I expected the \n to be newlines

You are correct, the conversion is done for some fields, but not that one. ACLI-171 will fix that.
