How to display Wikirendered information from jira ticket discription properly in a jira plugin

[Paul Korver]

I am writing a plugin to display information from jira tickets in a separate page. But the information returned from my jql rest call is displayed as a string, in the wikirendered format.

My question is:

How do I convert the wikirendered table (e.g. ||table header||table cell|) into html code?

Have you tried the expansion feature with the renderedFields option?

See: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.8.1/

That didnt work for me, I ended up on making a second rest call to the /issue endpoint and followed this question:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/How-can-I-get-the-rendered-HTML-of-a-wiki-markup-field-in-JIRA/qaq-p/495779

This did work for me. Thanks for trying to help me.

I think there is a separate REST endpoint to do that rendering. Look through the REST API docs.

I have only found the endpoint to only display rendered fields, but that still displays them in the rendered manner.

Hmm, see my other answer.
