Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the documentation for the atl issue edit command, specifically focusing on advanced usage of the --field option. The updates clarify how to handle multiline input for textarea custom fields, utilize expandable sections, ensure correct rendering of code names with underscores, and illustrate the automatic Markdown to ADF conversion for field values. These changes aim to improve user understanding and efficiency when interacting with Jira custom fields via the command-line interface.

Highlights

  • Multiline Textarea Custom Fields: Documented the use of literal '\n' for creating multiline content within textarea custom fields when using the --field option.
  • Expand Section Syntax: Added documentation for the +++Title\ncontent\n+++ syntax to create expandable sections within custom fields.
  • Underscore Guidance for Code Names: Provided guidance on using backticks to correctly render code names containing underscores, preventing them from being interpreted as italics in Jira.
  • --field Markdown Auto-conversion: Included an example demonstrating how Markdown text provided via the --field option is automatically converted to Atlassian Document Format (ADF).

Code Review

This pull request adds valuable documentation for using multiline values and handling special characters in custom fields with the atl CLI. The examples for \n and expandable sections are clear. I've found a minor issue with escaping in one of the new documentation strings, which could cause it to render incorrectly. My feedback includes a suggestion to fix this.
