Escaping quotes in subtask template

I'm trying to figure out how to create a sub-task template that will allow for a description field to contain a " (double quote) character.

So far the only way I could make it work is something like this:

- hello quotes and dashes / description: "- testing stuff {n} - task 2 / description:" my description goes here " {n} "

is there an escape character that can be used to escape a " or a - character for subtask templates?

Hello Pawel,

 

This looks like Quick Subtasks for JIRA and as far as I know your solution is correct for escaping quotes.

Hi Pawel,

Templates for subtasks is not something that is natively available with Jira itself.  Is it possible that you are using a plugin for Jira that might be providing this functionality?  Say something like Quick Subtasks for Jira

Perhaps we can better direct this question if we know which code is providing the feature.

Indeed it is Quick Subtasks for Jira that I'm referring to. Thank you.
