Troubles with wiki style renderer for custom field text field

[Vladimir Stechenko]

Hi, i have a custom field 

it is Text Field, and according to https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Renderers - this type is supported by Wiki Style Renderers
Renderer for this tickets is set as

However,  somehow it does not support wiki syntax while Description field does(same text for 2 fields in 1 ticket)

Vladimir,

It looks as this custom field is configured to use the Default Text Renderer. To configure this, simply navigate to Administration » Projects » "Your project", select Fields and edit the Field Configuration for this issue type.

You'll see a "Renderer" option next to the custom field name. 

Cheers,
Matheus

it seems does not work custom fields. there are options only for default fields.

[Shalvika Sood]

It's applicable for custom fields as well. You have to edit the default field configuration and change the renderer type as mentioned above

Did that - Still not working.

[Tomasz Grochowski]

There are two ways to configure that. 

1. Go to general Jira settings and change renderer config. I did it and somehow id does not work.

2. Go first to your project and in project settings go to Fields configuration and there is renderer config. This way worked in my cane.

Hello,

Here is what I've done for a new custom field name "To Do" :

Project Settings >> Fields >> Edit Default Field Configuration >> Renderers (for my custom field) >> Active Renderer = Wiki Style Renderer

My new custom field appears in my screen but Wiki Style Renderer does not work.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Björn Osbahr]

Yep, same here. If I click inside such a field the default text renderer applies.

[Erik Menkhorst]

Same applies for me unfortunately ... :(

@Tomasz Grochowski's reply above, particularly #2, worked for me.

Oddly, I had to go to the Project that I was working on, go to Settings, then go to "Fields". Then I pressed the pencil icon near the top right, then found my field to have "Default Text Renderer" on it, though I had changed it on the "Screens" setting. I changed it to "Wiki Markup Editor" (or whatever it is) and now it's working. Insert shrug emoji.

[Clifton Foster]

Confirmed. Just setting it in the Global Settings does not change it in the Project. You have to go to the Project and change the setting as explained above by Brett Wyrick and Tomasz Grochowski.

Despite this is marked as "Solved", I spent quite a few hours trying to understand how to fix this. 
Here a video tutorial on how actually do it in 5 minutes...

Tomasz Grochowski's Second option worked for me. Thank you.
