The use of this editor type does not require additional addons or licenses.

Things to Know When Using the embedded Rich Text Editor

  • You don't have to change you templates to render Rich Text emails
  • Email log displays rich text emails correctly
  • If users enable JETI to add comments to issues when sending emails, please be aware that the rich text email body will be escaped and fairly unreadable unless you enable JEditor renderer for comments in Jira Field Configuration.
    This is because Jira always escapes HTML in comment text. 
  • If email format is forced to set to Text, rich text content will be escaped in the email making it hard to read

This is a well known editor available in the Marketplace for many years now.
