How to revert issue description to a history version?

In a JIRA issue, how to revert issue description to a history version?

Copying the description from History tab and pasting it on the description field does not render the markup correctly.

Hi @chris_rex 

My team has also struggled with the description and its formatting, so we added the revert option to the Issue History for Jira app (developed by my team). It allows us to revert changes made to the description.

Text formatting (bold, color, lists, tables) will be preserved. The only exception is attachments. As Jira does not store attachments after removal, you can only return the name of the removed format.

Hi @chris_rex , welcome to the Community! Unfortunately, it isn't possible to retrieve the formatting.
