Code snippets in Asana

+1 We really need this feature! Love the unicorn animations, for real. But well-formatted code snippets and markdown chunks would make Asana stickier.

Four years later, still no progress on this very useful feature, hence we switched to Notion

Really feels disheartening to see how old this thread is. Our small dev team just decided to try Asana over Jira. We will be sharing code snippets all the time, so please consider this an important issue.

@Emily_Roman are there any news on this feature?

Do we think anyone from Asana is actually reading these? I mean, 4.5 years since original askā€¦andā€¦nothing?

Hi @Niklas_D and @Jim_Rubenstein, thanks for reaching out! Iā€™m afraid I donā€™t have any substantial update to share with you today, but rest ensured that weā€™re closely following up on this behind the scenes and representing your voice.

Over the last few years, weā€™ve heavily relied on customer feedback to build Asana, and while we canā€™t always address every request as quickly as our users would like to, we do have a robust customer feedback process in place to surface feedback and feature requests; you can learn more about it in this post .

If you have any follow-up questions, feel free to drop me a DM or to reply on this thread, Iā€™ll be more than happy to help!

Stunning that this feature isnā€™t here. Add my voice to the thousands: this is a critical need.

When I paste code into a task box, it is essential that it not just be monospaced, but that it not be modified in any way. If there is a good workaround to let me do this please share.

To be clear: we donā€™t need markdown support. we do need some way to paste text that will be monospaced and unmodified.

+1 for code presentation
Markdown is nice, but a decent way of presenting code is very much needed.

Is there really no way of formatting a proper code block in asana in 2021? Shocked if so and surprised a dev team would be able to manage their projects without it.

Tell me Iā€™m missing something please, thank you!

@arifb-dhs Nope. Thereā€™s no way to do it currently.

+1 to ` or ```${optionalLang} format

+1 For this very important feature.

+1 as well! :pray:t2:
