How to create a free form text field like "Description"

Ben Scott February 28, 2022

Hello, 

I would like to add a free form text field in my tickets just like the Description field. 

I plan to call this field Acceptance Criteria and Testing, and in it I would like to outline any acceptance criteria and test results related to the task or bug. 

Is this possible? 

I've tried to create a custom field and have read that I could use a Wiki Style Renderer? But unsure which custom field to firstly select? 

Open to suggestions - and thank you!!!

Cheers, 

Ben

Hi @Ben Scott,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The field type you are looking for is called Paragraph, that will give you a multi line field similar to Description.
