    • We collect Jira Service Desk feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

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

      At the moment, when adding "Field help" in Service Desk > Settings > Request types > Edit fields screen, it's only possible to add a single line. For longer descriptions, it would be useful to be able to add multiple lines, e.g. to explain each position in the select list.

      Use case
      Explanation for the 'Priority' field should be:

      Blocker - service is unavailable
      Major - majority of users cannot use the service
      Minor - some functionalities aren't working as expected

      At the moment, it has to be displayed as:

      Blocker - service is unavailable; Major - majority of users cannot use the service; Minor - some functionalities aren't working as expected

            This is actually possible in wiki markup format.

            text \\ more text
            Example
            Blocker - service is unavailable \\ Major - majority of users cannot use the service \\ Minor - some functionalities aren't working as expected

            It's not nice to edit with a large description but it works.

            This would be very useful when providing help with drop down list items
