CodeBeamer Export Should Render UI View Instead of Markup

Issue Details

• Create or import an item with the description field set as Wiki format, including elements like:
  • Links
  • Bold / Italic text
  • Strikethrough formatting
• After saving, the content is displayed correctly in the UI in a readable, formatted way without exposing markup syntax.
• However, when exporting the same item using the default export template:
  • The description is exported in raw markup language instead of the formatted view.
• This creates difficulty for users who expect exported content to match what they see in the UI.

Current Resolution

• A workaround exists using Groovy scripting to export the formatted description content.
• However, this is not a standard or user-friendly solution and requires additional effort and customization.

Proposal

• Enhance the export functionality to output content as rendered in the UI (formatted view) instead of raw markup.
• Provide an option in export settings to choose between:
  • Raw markup format
  • Rendered (UI-equivalent) format

Benefits

• Improved usability: Exported data matches what users see in the UI, reducing confusion.
• Better readability: Eliminates the need to interpret markup syntax in exported files.
• Reduced dependency on scripting: Removes the need for Groovy-based custom solutions.
• Consistency: Aligns export output with UI representation.
• Enhanced productivity: Users can directly use exported content for reporting and review purposes.
