JIRA - Manually writing Wiki format in new Issue screen does not work

Phil_Dimeski

Hey there, 

I have noticed that in the old JIRA issue screen if I were to manually type up the wiki format for say a header as shown below it will render the Wiki format correctly.

h1. I have manually added this heading  

When using the new screen if I create a comment and input the above it will not render it on the front end. When inspecting the UI element there is only a <p> tag with the text. In the old screen when inspecting the element the is a <h1> tag with content.

Hi Philip,

Did you perhaps input the wikimarkup header "h1." in the comment section while on the new JIRA issue view? If so, the tag won't be rendered on the frontend automaticly as the new viewer doesn't recognise the format:

<p>‌h1. I have manually added this heading</p>
<h1><a name="Ihavemanuallyaddedthisheading"></a>I have manually added this heading</h1> 

Do let me know if this is not the case. Hope you can elaborate on the steps.

Cheers, Syauqi
