Problem Definition

Assets postfunction that would copy Text/TextArea attribute to a Jira Text custom field does not handle the text markup/markdown formatting correctly

Test Set up:

• Object type with both Text and TextArea attributes:
  
• put in a bunch of formatting text in both the attributes in this object:
  
• Assets Object Custom field where I chose this object as the value:
  
• Added two Set a Jira custom field with the attribute value from a selected object post-functions to map Text Attribute to Text Custom field and TextArea to TextArea custom field:
  
• Both the Text and TextArea custom fields are made Wiki Style Renderers:
  
• transition the issue to trigger the post-function:

Result:

• TextArea attribute mapped custom field TextArea is showing up as HTML
• Text attribute mapped custom field Text is better but not showing up correctly either

Suggested Solution

Make Assets postfunction maintain the Wiki rendering of Jira markup for text custom fields.
