Format custom field default value as Bold

[rbalamu2]

Hi Team, 
I have a default value as text for a static text custom field. 

Can someone help me to make the default text value as "BOLD"?

Hi @rbalamu2 have you tried using this?

*your text value* 

You'll need to ensure the field renderer is set to wiki style renderer in the field configuration for your project.  Here's further info on markdown for other types of formatting you can do with it:

Thanks @Mark Segall , This worked after changing the renderer to wiki style :)

will this work for cloud instance?

I tried the same in cloud, but not working

Hi @Shanmukha Teja Badana   

Yes - It works in cloud.  The main thing is your field configuration must be set to wiki style renderer

Ok @Mark Segall , But here I've one query, when we did this, the context is appearing in bold in view screen, but coming to the create and edit screens, this context is showing as big box and showing context inside box. Can we make this appear on create & edit screens as like view screen? Is there any alternative?

The Renderer option is not showing up in my field configuration for the custom field i want to make bold. Any other way to achieve this.  I'm using JSM cloud. Many Thanks
