How do I bulk import pre-formatted description text in JIRA Cloud?

Chris Santeramo

I've been a long time user of JIRA Server version. My new company only uses JIRA Cloud.  I make A LOT of JIRA tickets everyday.  On server version I loved being able to bulk import tickets via a spreadsheet set up to export to csv.  I learned the markup language so I could pre-format the text that would appear in the description fields. For instance, bold words could be formatted with asterisks, numbered lists with # and even simple tables with | .  I cannot figure out to get this to work on the cloud version. We have our description field already set to wiki style renderer.  Does the new WYSIWYG editor in JIRA Cloud prevent me from importing pre-formatted text?

Here's an example of what I'm calling pre-formatted text:

*BoldWord*

# NumberedList01.

#NubmeredList02

||*Column01BoldTableHeader*||

|Column01Cel01Text|

|Column01Cel02Text|

|Column01Cel03Text|

This does not seem to be helpful. There's nothing in the Behaviour description that hints at reading information from the current user's profile.

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Behaviours-script-to-check-user-s-role-membership/qaq-p/384439 did help a lot more.

Has anyone managed to get around this for Cloud Version? Behaviour Tab is not visible
