Problem

Currently, the WYSIWYG editor will directly update text to markdown in real time when inputting markdown syntax into Jira fields like Description causing the input to change.

For example, when clients want to update the Description of an issue to state "# of Customers is 10", typing the hashtag followed by a space will render Heading Level 1.

• Desired Result:
  • "# of Customers is 10"
• Actual Result:

  • " of Customers is 10"

Feature Request

Directly requesting a toggle switch, or the ability to disable markdown temporarily so that text input does not get converted in real time.

Workaround

You can add a space character before the hashtag so that the WYSIWYG editor does not render the header.

Example:

" # of Customers is 10"
