Can I create a custom field like the Description field?

[Maggie Stearns]

Hi:

I'm looking for the ability to create a JIRA custom field that allows for markup like the Description field. Maybe an add-on?

I would guess it's because some of the fields which should be send are "null". Add a check to your email velocity templates and ignore the fields if they are "null".

Thanks for the tip Dominic.

It is dissapointing when things like this "pop-up" after an upgrade. No issue with this in v5.1.2.
