How to use preformated test styles

[MI]

Hello,

we would like to edit code snippets for cases in jira issue view, such as.

given pandemic is corona
when panemic is over
then everybody will be relieved

--> within new version of issue detail view this is a nuisance to keep together text. the row distance is too far so for text as this, the lines appear too far appart.

Additionally, I would like to add some keywords, which would appear always in highlights. Compare it with styles, which I have in Notepad++.

I thought, I could gain this in using code snippets and select a language, such as SQL. But this has no impact whatsoever. I don't understand, why I can select a language, when it does not have any impact in formats.

Anybody a clue, what we could do? We run a volunteer corona project, so we rather spend not too much money. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Hello @MI ,

The Code Block will give syntax highliting and formatting based on the selected language, but natively it does not contain syntax highliting for acceptance tests using  Given-When-Then formulas.

If you want this syntax you will need to look into add-on apps that add this in.

I did a bit of digging on this one for you and I believe that "Xray Test Management for Jira" can add this in for you using the "Inline Edit for Jira App" detailed in the apps documentation pages here:

I'd recomend checking the app out on a trial to see if it fits your needs.

Regards,
Earl
