      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Service Desk Server. Using JIRA Service Desk Cloud? 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)
