Create Issue through API- Formatting not working

[Mo Elsaied]

Hello,

I am attempting to use the jira rest api to create issues, and am having issues passing through any formatting such as tables, bullets, bolding, etc. I have tried "\n" to indicate line breaks and using the below format to indicate tables, but it enters into the description field as straight text. Greatly appreciate any guidance.

| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Row 1 | Row 1 | Row 1 |

Hey Mo,

I think in that case you could try "\\".
