Hi @Tim Hitchins ,

You can change field rendering by navigating to Settings>Issues>Fields>Field Configurations>Select the configuration and then choose the description field, and the choose the render style.

you can also refer to the below link or screenshot:

Thanks for the reply.

I can't seem to find this setting. I'm a standard Jira user (not admin) and it's Jira Cloud. Does that make a difference?

Thanks!

Hey @Tim Hitchins ,

That setting will be available for Jira admin only., yes even in Jira Cloud you can make that setting.
