Fields Not Using Wiki Renderer

Shelli

I am using JIRA Server 7.1.6 and when I try to apply wiki formatting to my text, it doesn't apply the style. For example, in the description field, I entered this text:

*This should be bold*
-This should be deleted-

And that is exactly how it is displayed instead of bolding or applying strike through.

According to https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/configuring-renderers-802592570.html the default renderer should do this. I don't believe we have modified the default renderer uses, but can't find how to check this in the documentation or a setting that configures this.

Can somebody direct me on how to check our renderer settings?

Are you trying to use the wiki markup in a custom field? What custom field type are you using?

To answer your question:

Renderers are configured in the JIRA admin under Field Configurations. If the field is a renderable field, then you can configure the renderer following the instructions found here.

I am trying to use markup in the Description and Comments fields, not custom ones.

Alex Christensen

Hmm. A couple more questions based on that.

Have you checked the renderers configured on the Field Configuration on the Description and Comments fields? It is possible to change those renderers, so maybe they got changed somehow.
Are you using any add-ons in your JIRA instance that affect text field input (like giving you a custom WSIWYG editor, etc.)?
Does this happen for every issue in your JIRA instance? Do some projects and/or issue types work correctly and others don't? If it's not happening everywhere, this might suggest some issues in the configuration of the Field Configuration associated with a project/issue type.

I have same problem.
Описание(Description field in russian-language interface) [Wiki Style Рендерер]
but still after editing the Description-field, I see *B* instead of the bold letter B.

I have the same problem with [Wiki Style Renderer] for the field 'Comment' but no wiki handling of {code}...{code} or {noformat}...{noformat} or 'HTML' is happening any more, and *Bold* is rendered as italicized text, not bold text. I have verified via Manage Apps that the Wiki Renderer Macros Plugin has 8 of 8 modules enabled.

Did you find a solution?

I just found that the wiki-style rendering only fails on desktop browsers (Windows 10 Firefox, Chrome) and works just fine in the JIRA Android app. In the browsers, a '\' is being inserted before the '{' of a tag like "{code}" and "{noformat}", and editing in the app reveals those '\'s and lets me remove them, and subsequent rendering is correct on both platforms.

We are seeing the same on a custom field that is set to have wiki rendering but this does not pull through? We are on cloud and using chrome.
