To continue the culture of being honest and open, we are closing this ticket to focus on our upcoming roadmap for all Jira Service Management Cloud users. You can visit Atlassian Cloud Roadmap to learn more about what was recently released and the upcoming roadmap.

      Thank you again for providing valuable feedback to our team!

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Service Desk Cloud. Using JIRA Service Desk Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Issue Summary

      When a user configures their Service Desk create request to contain a field help, the content of the help section will always appear on a single line failing to follow even HTML descriptions like the description section of fields found in JIRA.

      Usage Scenario

      If a user want to let customer know what each option represents in an orderly manner, the ability to have each entry on a separate line would be great similar to the below:

      Level 1 - For JIRA Outages, Critical Functions Broken.
      Level 2 - For Major functions breaking or impacts a large number of people
      Level 3 - Non-major functions breaking or impacts a small number of users
      Level 4 - For learning about specific functions.
      
      Steps to Reproduce
      1. Go to Your Project > Project Settings > Request Type page.
      2. Select the Edit field link.
      3. In the page that comes up, add the field Priority.
      4. In the field help section, attempt to add a description with multiple lines.
        • On pressing Shift+enter, instead of creating a new line the parameter is saved.
      5. If you instead add an HTML script such as the below, it would still appear as a single line:
        Level 1 - This is a Level 1 </br>
        Level 2 - This is a Level 2 </br>
        Level 3 - This is a Level 3 </br>
        Level 4 - This is a Level 4 </br>
        
      Expected Result

      Service Desk would obey the above and show the entries on multiple lines.

      Actual Result

      JIRA Service Desk would show all entries on a single line as seen below(server result vs Service Desk result)
