Description

It would be very helpful if Text and Long Text custom fields support wiki formatting. It would be even better if the wiki support can be activated or deactivated in a per-field basis, using a checkbox in the custom field properties (something like "Allow wiki format" next to the "Required" checkbox).

Implementing this would effectively make issue #1358 a duplicate of this by allowing me to have links in any custom field.

Can you try the patch I proposed in #5794 and tell me if it works and fit your needs ?

I'm sorry, I don't have a Redmine instance to play with at the moment, but I took to the patches and, if I understand correctly what they do (bare in mind I'm not well versed in Ruby nor familiar with Redmine code), it's exactly what I wanted.

I prefer to have the option to textilize or not, but it wouldn't be too terrible if there is no option (it will not be backward compatible, though, and could cause some pain in people already using it as plain text).

Thanks!

I am also interested in having wiki-formatting in Text/Long Text custom fields. And I have a redmine install for testing purpose so I can test patches if needed.

I just have released Extended fields plugin which adds "Wiki text" custom field type... Please check.

Guys,
I think long text custom field should be used as "description" field (i mean full support wiki syntax) and simple text field should not.
I believe it solves many issues related with this issue with simplest way - without any additional options
