Description
Issue Summary
When copying and pasting tables in Jira containing cells starting with numbers followed by a dot and including formatting (e.g., colors or italics), the content loses its formatting and incorrectly converts numbered cells into lists. This behavior impacts the accurate replication of content. For example:
This behavior impedes the accurate replication of formatted content across different sections within Jira, potentially impacting data consistency and readability.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a table in Jira with cells containing text starting with numbers (e.g., 1., 2., etc.) in the description field of an issue.
- Apply formatting (such as colors or italics) to these numbered cells.
- Copy the table content.
- Paste the content into the same field
Expected Results
- The copied content should retain its original formatting, including the numbering sequence and any applied formatting (colors, italics, etc.).
- The pasted content should accurately reflect the structure and formatting of the original table.
Actual Results
- When pasting the copied content, numbered cells are transformed into lists, replacing all numbers with "1".
- Formatting applied to the numbered cells is lost during the copying and pasting process, resulting in a loss of visual formatting.
Workaround
To maintain formatting and numbering sequence when copying and pasting tables:
- Manually set numbered lists before copying content.
- Utilize numbered columns within tables to ensure formatting consistency.
