Can I roll back a Jira ticket to an earlier version, as shown in History?

[Michael Choo-Chong]

Another user had the cursor in the description field, while i was making changes to that field, on another computer.

I saved my changes, then when the other user clicked outside of the description box, it saved the old description over my new description, since the page had not been refreshed, to include my changes.

There is no way to roll the issue back.  Your description change if saved should be in the history and you can copy it from there to update the description field.

Is there a way to recover a description with the original formatting?

I can copy paste a description I need, but instead of the formatting I get the notation.

I want:

The following are some notes

Note:

• This is a note

Example Table

[a table]

Acceptance tests:

AT1 - First test

1. Do step one
2. Do step two

I get:

_The following are some notes_h3.Note:* This is a note h3.Example Table ||*Column*||*Mandatory*||*Notes*|| h3.Acceptance tests: h4.AT1 - First test #Do step one
#Do step two

@Brant Schroeder This does not adequately solve the issue as formatting is lost.

And for now it is not possible to do that. Because the text edit is not available anymore.

Hi @Cyndi Chan 

My team has also faced this problem. Jira history doesn't save the formatting for description, so it's impossible to copy and past it. Therefore, we've decided to implement this option with Issue History for Jira app. Text formatting (bold, color, lists, tables) will be preserved.

The only exception is the attachment.  As Jira does not store attachments after removal, you can only return the name of the removed format. If the attachment wasn’t removed (changes were made to the text only), the file will be fully reverted as it is.

Here is how it looks in recently released dark mode ♥

The app is developed by my team.

I would really like a feature to enable this.  Its very difficult to restore a table from the history.  It would be even better if race conditions like this could be eliminated.

Is there a feature request somewhere for this?
