      I would like to request that Jira incorporate an option to use the diff Unified Output Format for all text field changes. As is now, the full text is displayed twice and users must manually determine the differences. This works for small bodies of text but is very problematic for large bodies. This can greatly reduce the size of notifications and history.

      We currently see:

        was:
      Test ticket.
      

      But would like to see something like:
