Hello Atlassians,
I need your opinion on this situation. So, i have a well running Jira 7.13, Confluence 3.16 and Bitbucket (need upgrade :P) combination running at the moment. The first two running are using a mysql database with collation utf8.
Now i have problem with the service desk issue creation because of the smiley faces (emojis in sum). i am finding that if i alter to utf8mb4 this problem can be solved.
The question now:
Best Regards
CM
currently this is only possible as a workaround for Jira > 7.3 in combination with MySQL 5.7.x and later (see Emojis and Special Characters for Jira with MySQL). If you want to have it supported by Atlassian, I recommend waiting for Jira 8.0 since this will be fixed in that version.
For Confluence and Bitbucket I found only these tickets:
Anyway, I do recommend not altering the database until you exactly know what you're doing :)
My company is affected by this as well and we will wait for an official fix by Atlassian. It is better this way than to have instances which were customized in a way that Atlassian cannot support them. Own manipulations on the application database are changes which aren't in Atlassian support scope.
Regards,
Patrice
Thank you a lot for your reply and of course the search that you have already done.
Kind regards
CM
