Bug: task description and folders that start with a "!"

Viktor Dmitriev

A path that looks like this: "W:\FolderName\!ExclamationSubFolder" is displayed as "W:\FolderName!ExclamationSubFolder" in a task description.

Sorry to hear you are having this problem.  I created a bug for this behavior in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-71150

I believe that changes to the visual editor are causing jira to believe this is an escaped character, when you are not intending it to be so.

For the time being, I would recommend either using the / character instead of \

OR

using the {code} macro to encapsulate your strings that contain these kinds of paths to prevent the editor from escaping this character.
