Code snippets in Asana

+1

Seems to be some progress here in the task description, though it probably shouldn’t spellcheck highlight.
Still not available in the comments

@Tony_Kenny — I believe they’ve had support for inline code for a bit. There’s still not support for

code blocks
that span multiple lines though

Will Asana ever add support multi-line code snippets?

this is essential for sharing GTM codes
it's also really important when troubleshooting UTM parameters for URLS that otherwise will get rendered as part of the link in regular descriptions.

Asana doesn’t communicate on the roadmap, make sure to upvote the post.

We really need code blocks. it’s EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING if not IMPOSSIBLE to try and communicate certain code requirements, etc without proper code blocks… and we’re an engineering team

Please, fix this. Pretty please, with syntax sugar on top.

6 years and still not implemented. The current code format is aweful for multiline. We need real code blocks!

This is probably one of the nr 1 reasons we can not use Asana for our development/documentation purposes.

Looking to move away from our current system [Redmine] as our marketing department and developers are using two separate project management systems which is resulting in fragmentation and confusion.

I was looking forward to using Asana to bridge the gap, but if we can’t provide code snippets in descriptions/comments, such as diff’s, Asana is useless to our company.

Adding features that benefit developers, such as a code block, would be most beneficial to the growth and adoption of Asana.

For those interested on adding Code Snippets in Asana.

Here is Codesana, the Chrome extension we created to add this feature while Asana product team add this feature to the product.

It is incredibly annoying that code blocks are not supported at all. But what is more incredibly annoying is that Asana is still unable to implement such a demanded feature 6 years later.

This is a joke.

It has been six long years, and Asana is still missing this basic feature. Pathetic.

Even here a forum platform has code snippets, come one Asana. We want it bad!

import asana from 'asana';

asana.codeSupport();
// throws error

I desire a multi-line code block!
If possilble, I’ll be more than glad if you display it in a bit prettier font in Japanese environment.

print("hello world こんにちは世界")
print("hello world こんにちは世界")

I am genuinely curious: would you move to an entirely new app “just” for this feature? :thinking:

biggest feature request from our team is to get code-block support @ Asana :slight_smile:

The tincre.com team would really, really like to see this implemented.

There are many excellent and robust sanitization + rendering libs out there in all languages to make this happen.
