kihayu commented on May 22, 2023

Checklist before you being

I am sure that I am already using latest version of Jira Assistant
I had verified that there are no existing requests with similar suggestion in issue tracker
I had verified that, my query is not answered in FAQ section of website

How do you use Jira Assistant?

Web version

Are you using cloud version of Jira or self hosted (data center / server) of Jira.

Cloud Jira

Version of Jira Assistant

v2.47

What browser are you using?

Chrome

Feature Suggestion

I recently started using the "Import Worklog" feature. At my work, it is common for me to have comments that include texts spread across multiple lines, separated with an "enter" (\n). However, when I import my work log with \n within, it is written as is inside the comment. It would be great if there was an option to translate special characters like that so they are displayed as I desire.

If I find the time, I will take a look at the source code and implement it myself.

Checklist before you submit

I have ensured not to paste any confidential information like Jira url, Mail id, etc.
I have added required screenshots (as necessary)

Hi @kihayu - I have done some analysis on this and it seems like supporting this formatting itself is a big activity. I don't see any public library currently supporting this which can be used in JA.

Hence I am keeping this on hold until a feasible solution is found.

Reference: The following library is something to be looked at in future: @atlaskit/adf-utils. But if there are any other better suggestions from anyone please let me know.

Latest updates

27-Nov-2023 - Change in permissions for JA

In upcoming version (v2.58) of JA, by default, permission to access Cloud instance of Jira would be added. This would let the users to integrate with Cloud instance of Jira without prompting for permission at the time of integration. Hence for Chrome users, once the extension gets updated, it would get disabled due to change in permission. You can enable it again from Extensions page. However, for Firefox and Edge, extension already have access to all the sites (though it doesn't really need) which would be narrowed down only to atlassian.net which would be a security improvement.
