Jira is such a pain to work with. For example, there seem to be two different ways to create a new issue. If you get to the one that uses a modal, the text input is in Textile format. Whereas the other page uses Markdown. It's insane that anyone thought that was a good idea

They’re apparently trying to switch from using something like confluence markup to using the markdown that just about everyone expects now... https://support.atlassian.com/jira-core-cloud/docs/markdown-...

But like everything Jira, they can never seem to find the energy to redo everything all at once, so they do it one screen or one section at a time instead... reminds me of how Office apps never improve all at the same time, just a bit at a time... in one app... if you’re running the Cloud version...

It's what passes for Agile these days, ie. push half-cooked changes upon your users.

Is that what it is? I thought it was our own misconfiguration because it’s so hard to configure screens / easy to misconfigure them.

I think so, I haven't seen a way to configure it and it seems to happen by default in new projects
