    • 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.

      Currently, there are customers who are using JEditor - Rich Text Editor third-party plugin for JIRA itself. However this third-party plugin does not support JIRA Service Desk. It would be best if we can provide alternative methods for rich text editor for customer portal in JIRA Service Desk as well.

            [JSDSERVER-554] Rich text editor functionality for Customer Portal in JIRA Service Desk

            This is yet another common-sense feature that is missing. However, as long as there is a vendor in the Marketplace selling a plugin that provides a feature,, Atlassian will never implement it. Why should they? They collect passive income from their cut of the add-on sales, plus they don't have to develop or maintain any new code. I guess you could think of it as an evil twist on the concept of open source. Other people make all the needed enhancements, but since it's closed-source, nothing gets put into the core product and everything has a price tag.

            JEditor works OK in customer portal. Make sure you enable the related modules first which are disabled by default.

            JEditor isn't working for me in the portal. All I get is a wiki renderer.

            Can someone confirm that JEditor work in exposing a Rich Text editor to customers?  Does it interfere with the new native JIRA visual editor?

            When it is enabled, doesn't it appear in the Customer Portal for the comments field in existing requests?
