Net Gen Projects - Markdown view?

[Katie Spires]

Currently when entering markdown into the new project description it automatically renders it as text with no way to click in, view the markup source, and edit that mark up.  Is there a way to view the markdown and edit it as markup instead of as plain text?

[Janek Bogucki]

Yes, I am interesting in being able to edit the markdown directly. How can this be done?

Hello Katie,

Thank you for getting in touch with Atlassian Community!
The new issue view uses markdown formatting now and not wiki markup.
You can find more information here: New Atlassian editor

"The editor in the new issue view uses markdown rather than wiki markup. Right now, if you've added wiki markup in the old editor, we'll render it correctly in the new issue view. As we continue to roll out the new issue view and new editor, wiki markup support will be phased out and eventually removed in favor of markdown"

If you have any other question, please let us know.

Regards,
Angélica

I realize and state both of these things in my question.  What I am asking about is to be able to see the markdown code and edit the code instead of just the plain text view.  This does not answer my question.

Is this planned or not?

[Angélica Luz]

Currently it's not possible to see the preview or the code of the markdown, since the dev team are still working on the new issue view and it includes the markdown editor.
We have a feature request suggesting improvments on the editor:

Please, click on vote and watch to receive updates.

If that's not the case, please feel free to open a feature request on id.atlassian.com on the project JRACLOUD adding more details about why the feature is important for you.
