I'm not sure why this ticket isn't updated to reflect the current status, but reviewing the release notes of the next version of JSM it looks like a "Reich text editor on customer portal" is going to be released:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracore/preparing-for-jira-8-15-1032259123.html
We've added a rich text editor to Jira Service Management's customer portals to allow customers to raise requests and add comments using the markup language and having a visual feedback on what they type.
This rich text editor is different from the one used in Jira and only supports a subset of features (e.g. there are no user mentions or panels), mostly focusing on text formatting.
Here's the list of features it supports:
- font size
- font style (bold, italic, underline, etc.)
- lists (unordered, ordered)
- links
- code blocks
- block quotes
It probably doesn't help that this issue doesn't have an assignee and votes/comments on most issues for Jira seem to be ignored, but at least this may actually be getting released later this year when Jira 8.15/JSM 4.15 is released.
Any update on this for JSM Cloud?
