Why is my description breaking when I clone an issue?

[Geborne Martenz]

I use one story as template to create others, using the CLONING native feature.

However, whenever I clone a story with tables that contain header-type text, the cloned story comes with a markdown style formatting instead of the normal one.

Bug?

Hello @Geborne Martenz 

I have the same experience as you do.

I've opened a support ticket with Atlassian to ask about this.

[Geborne Martenz]

Alright good to know I'm not alone in this! Keep me updated as to what they answer!

Atlassian has acknowledged this as a bug and opened an issue in their backlog for it.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-81240

They have no work around for retaining the formatting, and recommend not using the Heading format in table header rows.
