[JFP] Syntax error when mapping multi-line text field from JIRA to Perforce

Steps to reproduce

1. enable Perforce Job Integration in JIRA
2. create a multi-line text field in JIRA
3. create a Job Checkbox custom field (in JIRA) for Perforce
4. put these fields on Create Issue screen
5. follow this to add a new field to Perforce jobs
6. edit Perforce Job Integration -> Map Custom Fields and map the multi-line text field (step 2) to the Perforce field (step 5)
7. create a new JIRA issue and tick Yes at the Job Checkbox field (step 3) to have it duplicated as a Perforce job
8. also enter several lines into the multi-line text field e.g.:

   FirstLine
   SecondLine
   ThirdLine
   

9. click Create

Expected behavior

The JIRA issue is duplicated as a Perforce job with the correct field mappings

Actual behavior

A Perforce job is not created because of this error in JIRA log:

Note

• If only 1 line is entered into the text field, a Perforce job is created successfully
• In Perforce, multiple lines can be manually entered into the same field
• It doesn't matter whether the multi-line text field in JIRA uses Default Text or Wiki Style renderer

Workaround

Using HTML tag <br/> to indicate new lines works. For example, using this single line in the multi-line text field:

FirstLine<br/>SecondLine<br/>ThirdLine

• It appears as a single line, thus it works
• In Perforce, the field is rendered correctly with separate lines
