    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      In Confluence, when we create JIRA issues macro using the highlight option, it will limit the description field when having it created in the JIRA side if we use the option to create multiple issues from a table.

      For example, with the following screenshots, we can see how it behaves:

      When highlighting the same content as we can see in the below table:

      It will give us the following result, when selecting the Create Multiple Issues from Table:

      This is a suggestion to either increase the character limit for the description or allow the user to configure it, instead of using ellipsis for the rest of the description.

            test did not verify rich text formatting is maintained. I hope it is.

            My team is also experiencing this problem. Very painful when they have to fix the descriptions on large projects.

             I was excited to learn I could convert my requirements document, as advertised on the website, to JIRA issues.. but alas... the tool failed me as each issue text was cutoff and didn't maintain formatting .

            My team is also experiencing this issue. We are able to bypass it by creating single issues at a time, but that can quickly become a huge workload with a larger table.
