There currently seems to be no reasonable way to send a string of Markdown* to the API in relevant fields. Instead, one must construct a complex tree object which is similar-ish to a HTML parse tree but slightly different in enough cases to be frustrating to support.

It would be nice to be able to create an issue like so:

{{{}}

  "description": {

    "version": 2,

    "type": "text/markdown",

    "textContent": "# My title\n\nMy first paragraph"

{{  }}}

}

Without all the additional ceremony.

This feature is supported by many other products in the space.

• I say Markdown but really any lightweight markup format would do here, including the old wiki-style thing you have/had. The feature request is for it not to be my job as an integrator to build an ADF tree.
