Enable editing on a Custom Text field (multi-line)

Question

Hi

How do I enable text editing options on a custom field in JIRA? I added a custom text field (multi-line). We want to be able to put emoticons (such as a tick) against text entered into this field. we also would like to use bullet points, numbering and create a table within this field.

Have a look at the project's "field configuration".  You should find your new field listed, and probably with a "renderer" of "plain text".  You can change that to rich text to enable formatting.
