Problem

Various fields on an Issue may use Wiki style renderer and the rich text editor, to apply formatting to its values.

The Issue's History tab will show both old and new values as markup text, without rendering.

This makes it very hard to review changes to values - if the value had some additional formatting.

Here is a simple example, but it can get much more elaborated:

Suggested Solution

Add an option to apply rendering to historical entries, or, disregard formatting in History display.

Why This Is Important

When scanning through History for value changes, added formatting information is not always required.

Noting formatting data as markup tags, makes it very hard to find the actual values in question, and compare them with older values.

Workaround

use the default text renderer for a customfield, with the downside of not adding any formatting to values when displayed on the issue.
