Enable rich text editor in Jira Cloud

[Derek Crawford]

I am trying to enable rich text editing so I can enable the wiki renderer on a custom multi line field I created.  I googled looking for the solution and closest I came to was navigate to settings > system > user interface > enable rich text.  When I navigate via this path I do not have the option under user interface for rich text.  I attached a screenshot of the menu options I have.  How do I get rich text enabled for my custom fields?

The renderer is controlled by the field scheme that your project is using. Go to project settings > fields and then click the pencil up in the right-hand corner. From here locate your field and then click on Renderer and then select wiki style renderer:

Hello there!

I have all setup as you mention but I still don't get why most of the text formatting aren't working.

Most of the document above doesn't work for me and I'm having trouble understanding why and how can I make them work.

If someone could give me a hand would be much appreciated.

Regards!

Hi @Ismael Garcia,

If you have enabled the wiki style renderer in a paragraphed field you should see the same controls as in the Description field:

That indicate that the paragraph field is wiki enabled and should support the text formatting notation as well.

Hi @Mikael Sandberg thanks for responding so fast. I have those options, but I haven't being able to run successfully most of the actions in the documentation, I had that in other jira accounts but I don't get it why is not working properly in this one.
