Purpose

The rich text editor is available on description fields, comment fields, and text field (multi-line) custom fields. This document explains how to enable wiki style renderer for the custom field.

Solution

  1. Please make sure Rich text editing is enabled
  2. Create a custom field with the “Text Field (multi-line)“ or “Text Field (single-line)“ field type and associate it with the appropriate screens.

  3. Now we need to change its field configuration. Access the project you are using the custom field on.
  4. Move to Project settings > Fields
  5. Click Actions > Edit fields
  6. Click Renderers option next to the custom field name

  7. Select Wiki Style Renderer and Update

  8. You can see the field is changed to rich text editor

Mention feature is not available for text custom fields.
