custom field default value wiki renderer

[Sam]

I have a custom field set to render with the wiki renderer. This custom field has default text pre-populated. This issue I am seeing is that the wiki renderer applies the OLD markup to what should be the NEW markup

example:

# text here //should render an h1

## text here //should render an h2

Instead the `#` is rendering as an ordered list - per the old wiki markup spec.

How can i update this to use the new markup?

includes screenshots if that helps

Hi Samuel,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!
The new issue view uses the markdown editor and the old view uses the wiki markup editor.
That being said, the '#' is used for Heading on markdown and the custom fields still use wiki markup renderer, so it would work with 'h1.', for example.

If you add h1. Publisher and h2. Acceptance Criteria details here, you will see that the field will show correctly the format and it will work only on Classic project with the new view disabled.
If you want to disable the new view, please, go to your Personal settings and disable the Jira Labs.

On the links below you can find the syntax for markdown and markup:

Thanks for the response Angélica.

Is there any timeline for the markdown editor being used across the boards? I don't fully understand why two editors with different markdown/ wiki markup syntaxes would be used simultaneously. We have transitioned to the new view. When will the rest be transitioned?

Cheers,
Sam

We still don't have a date of when the old view will be removed.
We have two editors because classic projects are still available (no date to remove the classic projects as well) and the new view that is being implemented and currently, the new view is default only for next-gen projects.
If you need to use the default value, it's necessary to disable Jira Labs on your profile, so classic projects will show it correctly, but in this case, you will have to ask your team to also disable, so it will show the correct format to them as well.

Just writing to advise that this has still not been updated.
