JIRA Issues macro displays character HTML code instead of the character itself

On Confluence, adding the JIRA Issues macro to a page with a text custom field being shown as a column, and this text field having special characters within the text, let's say the quote sign, the macro displays the character HTML code instead the character itself. It also displays break HTML code instead of the new line.

Steps to reproduce:

Add a text custom field on JIRA (single line, or multi line)
Populate this field with text and special characters
Add the JIRA Issues macro to a Confluence page and add this custom field to be displayed as a column
Save the page
