Use JIRA markup editor in JIRA Agile

Mark Derbecker

As a result of a recent upgrade to JIRA Agile (we are using JIRA Cloud), there is a new rich text editor that is in effect when using JIRA Agile. It has idiosyncracies that our team is having trouble with and we're hoping to switch back to the tried-and-true editor that JIRA uses.

Is there any way to configure JIRA Agile to use the older editor?

Hey there Mark,

This is covered in the documentation for The new Jira issue view:

The editor in the new issue view uses markdown rather than wiki markup. Right now, if you've added wiki markup in the old editor, we'll render it correctly in the new issue view.

As we continue to roll out the new issue view and new editor, wiki markup support will be phased out and eventually removed in favor of markdown.

I also created the following Feature request to address your concern, viewable here:

- https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-16978

Make sure to vote for the feature, and add any feedback you cave on the request per the Implementation of New Features Policy. to track interest in preserving wiki markup options in cloud

Regards,
Earl
