When we insert the Jira issue macro, or paste a link to a filter or issue, and add paragraph-style columns to the results (description, next steps etc) the formatting that is set in the Jira issue is not retained in confluence from what we see.  Formatting we are looking at is the bullet points, text formatting (bold etc) and colors

Is there any setting to retain this formatting on the confluence side? 

The field in Jira is a custom paragraph field with Wiki Render enabled.

@Julian Governale Welcome to the Atlassian community

Are you copying the text in the editor or from the field not in edit mode?  If you are copying it from Jira editor to Confluence editor I believe that is the issue.  It you just copy the text on the page will it transfer then?

Hi @Brant Schroeder , We are using the Jira Issue macro in this case to return the set of issues to be reviewed, including a paragraph style field in the columns.

Those fields are the ones not rendering the formatting in Jira the same in Confluence.
