Using Automation for Jira Cloud, I am trying to convert the description field of my Jira issue, which uses standard wiki markdown to format a list, into a properly formated unordered list to include in an html formatted email.
Here is an example of the list formatted in the description field using wiki markdown.
Here is the rule where you can see that I've tried using the "htmlEncode" smart value to change the formatting:
Here is the output I get:
But I don't know what to do with that output in an email to get a properly formatted list. When I put that into an email, it is displayed without line breaks or bullets - and if I don't include the "htmlEncode" function, it looks the same in my email client (Office 365 Outlook).
I'm guessing that I would need to convert the html encoded values to the appropriate <ul> tag, but that's where I'm stuck. Can anyone help, please?
Hey there Paul,
I think what you're after is just .html see https://docs.automationforjira.com/issues/dealing-with-markup.html#rendering-html
So you should be able to just do: (no need to wrap it around the <p> tag either:
{{issue.description.html}}

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same issue as Paul, however unfortunately following the instructions in https://docs.automationforjira.com/issues/dealing-with-markup.html#rendering-html did not solve the problem for me.
My project automation uses the following email rule:
1. HTML:
{{issue.description.html}}
2. TEXT:
{{issue.description.text}}
3. ORIGINAL:
{{isse.description}}
However, both {{issue.description.html}} and {{issue.description.text}} don't appear to be interpreted as the email received is empty for those values.
1. HTML:
2. TEXT:
3. ORIGINAL:

Am I missing something? Can anyone help please?
Thanks!
