[MOVED TO ROADMAP] Reporting bugs from within TrueNAS - Add an editor preview with markdown support

Problem/Justification
When making a bug report from within TrueNAS SCALE you are only presented wiht a text box and no message saying that markdown is supported. Using a text only box is very difficult to see how what you have written will appear to the developers.

I am use to using GitHub which is a lot easier to use that JIRA, I can type my stuff out and then check for any layout mistakes

Impact
The quality of bug reports will increase and be easier to read.

I suspect that at the minute a lot of bug reports, are just blobs of text

Proposed solution

  • add a note saying that markdown is supported
    • add a preview window where the markdown is parsed.

User Story
I did a bug report and when I checked it at JIRA found the layout to be all messed up. What is worse I cannot edit the bug report to correct the layout. If I can edit it, the link is hidden amongst all of the useless junk on the issue page.
