Groovy formatting bold

JiraYo

Hey i am doing a "create issue" in a workflow transition with the JWME addon. Something like

 

FOB Number: <%=issue.get("FOB Number")%>

So thats fine and works, but i want to format this text, either bold or red or something to draw the eye to it in the resulting new service request description that gets created from this.

 

i have tried wrapping various things in asterisks *fob number* (etc), but that just prints the asterisks verbatim. How do i format in a groovy template? or get the result to be formatted and not just plain text? there must be a way right? groovy says you just wrap things in asterisks to *strong* them like that hopefully did.

This is actually independent of JMWE. What matters is where you put that text. You mentioned you are creating a new issue using the Create ISsue post-function, but where are you putting the text you want to format?

If you want to be able to use formatting on the text (wiki-style), the destination field needs to be configured to use the wiki renderer, which is done in Jira's Field Configuration.

For example, if you were writing:

FOB Number: *<%=issue.get("FOB Number")%>*

 to the Description field (which by default supports wiki markup), the FOB Number would be shown in bold.
