Extracting plain text from Codebeamer Wikitext fields is not possible through REST API

Modified: 29-Apr-2024   


Applies To

  • Codebeamer 9.x to 2.1

Description

  • A Wikitext field can have a formatting style in Codebeamer:
    • image.png
  • This corresponds to Wikitext Markup syntax: 
    • This is __bold__.

This is ''italicized''.

This is %%(text-decoration:underline;)underlined%!.
  • When getting that field through REST API endpoints like GET /v3/items/{itemId} or GET /v3/items/{itemId}/fields, the same value will be returned:
    • image.png
  • Are there any endpoints that can convert such value into readable plain text?
    • For example: 
      • "description": "This is __bold__.\r\n\r\nThis is ''italicized''.\r\n\r\nThis is %%(text-decoration:underline;)underlined%!."
    • into 
      • "description": "This is bold. This is italicized. This is underlined."
