When using a scripted field (html template) to render items from a Rich Text Field...

[Chris Solgat]

We have a scripted field using an html template that is pulling in comments from a linked issue.  The scripted field displayed correctly in JIRA Software 7.3.1, but is displaying the Markup in JIRA Software 7.6.1.

This is what's currently being rendered by the scripted field --
{color:#ff0000}Requested a revised app with correct broker info and AKA J Smith to match sig on QAR{color} {color:#ff0000}Requested POB as benes are life contingent{color} {color:#ff0000}Requested EFT Auth Form as this is a CA WC case.{color} {color:#ff0000}First pay is 05/01/2018{color} 

Here is how the original comment looked --

Requested a revised app with correct broker info and AKA J Smith to match sig on QAR

Requested POB as benes are life contingent

Requested EFT Auth Form as this is a CA WC case.

First pay is 05/01/2018

Here is the closure used to append and format the comment in the scripted field.  The $comment.body is how the comment is being pulled.

comments.each{comment ->
 def formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy HH:mm a")
 def s = formatter.format(comment.created)
 html.append("<tr><td>$s</td><td>$comment.authorFullName</td><td>$comment.body</td></tr>")
 }

What is the simplest manner to get the comments to display the rich text format in the scripted field?

My question didn't render the original Comment correctly.  Here's a screenshot that shows the original formatting --
