The Rich Text field empowers you to capture and display additional text content within your Jira issues. With its intuitive editor and wide array of formatting options, this field opens the door to clearer communication, improved documentation, and a more structured representation of your information.
Field Configuration

Step 1: Set a name and description

Field view and edit
View title and full text
When accessing the field edit dialog, you have the ability to read both the title and the formatted text. Simply click on "Edit" to make changes to both elements.
Edit title and full text
The title, which is displayed in the issue view, serves as the prominent element. Meanwhile, the full text allows for various formatting options such as bold, italic, or underlined text. Additionally, you can employ bullet point lists, incorporate links, or include quotes to enhance the presentation of the content.
