Jira has been supporting two different text formatting styles – old wiki syntax (mostly on old Server instances) and new markdown syntax.
Your templates should follow the syntax supported by your Jira instance.
Please see examples to see the differences in text formatting:
Element | Wiki Style Syntax (old issue view) | Markdown Syntax (new issue view) |
|---|
Headings | h1. Biggest heading title
h6. Smallest heading
| # Biggest heading title
###### Smallest heading
