    Description

      Status Update - 8th Dec 2023

      Hi everyone,

      Thanks again for your feedback and patience on this issue. I'm please to share that we have recently shipped an update within both Jira and Confluence to support pasting of rich-text markdown. If you dont see this right away, it should be with you any day now. 

      When you paste markdown in the editor, if its not plain text (which should auto-format) you'll see a paste options toolbar allowing you to transform the text as Markdown or even strip out the formatting to leave it as plain text. For now, this is only when pasting from an external source (i.e. not Jira to Jira). 

      I'm going to close this issue now that the core problem raised has now been addressed.
