Is it possible to have a "preview" in Jira comments?

[Salva]

Hi,

Some of our customers requested to have a "preview" functionality for comments when creating them (not editing) 

Do you know if it's possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Salvador,

Check the bottom left hand side under the Comments box. There should be an icon there to preview the text.

Thanks four your reply @Scott Theus
It seems that I misunderstood the request from my colleagues.

They were speaking about "Service Desk" customer portals and there is no preview button there

[Scott Theus]

That is correct, @Salva, there is currently no way to preview the comment window in Service Desk. There is, however, an open ticket with Atlassian to add it as a new feature. You can see the request here:

Server: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSDSERVER-3489

Cloud: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSDCLOUD-3489

If you click on "More" you can also add a vote for it. I added my vote, it seems silly that the button is available in one place and not the other.

Many thanks for your quick reply @Scott Theus.
I will vote for this feature

Hi,

With the latest update, I cannot see a comment preview option? Has it been moved 

[Sagar S (Vishal)]

I think it is removed in new version - feb 2019

[Reza Seedin]

Yes they confirmed its removed

This was a bad move by JIRA. Seriously miss that preview button as I use the markdown syntax regularly. Can this be reinstated perhaps?

[Alex Khadikova]

100%  - I really need that Preview function back.

This is an unfathomable regression

@Scott Theus is this something we can get in front of the JIRA guys?

[Scott Theus]

@Pete Littlewood  There are open items for this, the links are above if you'd like to review or vote for them.

Hi Scott - those links appear to be specifically for JIRA Service Desk. I'll comment on them hoping they apply to the JIRA suite wholesale. Cheers
