Yes as 80% of our projects involve sending code from one agency to another one. We have moved all project involving that to click up. Would love to come back to asana if they add code blocks.

As a developer. I badly need this.

Having github / discord style markdown for code blocks is severely needed.
```lang
// insert code
```
Language label decides what syntax highlighting to use.
```c
int main()
{
int result;
if (result == 1)
return (1);
return (0);
}
```
Or at the very least support an actual code block in the asana tasks like you have on the forums (like below)
int main()
{
int result;
if (result == 1)
return (1);
return (0);
}

Please add this. It is one of the only things severely making me consider not using Asana.

I really don’t understand how this is not implemented already.

Seven years later, and we still don’t have code blocks. In 2024, when almost every company integrates AI into their products, Asana still can’t add the basic feature.
@Marie do you have this feature on the agenda?

It’s ridiculous that code blocks aren’t possible in 2024.

I can’t really go one day, without ending up making a ``` in Asana, and posting a block of qoute. And I’ve used Asana for more than a year.
Please consider scoping this now, and let’s just do it as it’s normally done in Markdown, to not make it more complex than anything else.
It would be nice to define the lang. type, and have it formatted, as you can in most Markdown renders. However, I can also live with a dump ``` block.

As a someone who has used Asana for a few years now, it’s really disappointing that the company still doesn’t seem to be willing to make multiline code snippets a priority.

Same… How hard can it be? Ages ago since we requested this, but apparently Asana doesn’t care about their loyal and paying customers. Disapointing is a good word.
Literally 7 years and hundreds of requests for making this happen… I am really considering moving away from Asana.
What annoys me the most is that you have these forums for feedback and requests. But you don’t listen. Why even have these forums if you don’t care and don’t want to listen to your customers? So little it takes. It feels like a middle finger to my face.

Who said the Product team HAS to do what the forum asks? Who said they are not listening? We know for a fact they do consider those requests on a regular basis, they simply don’t communicate. Because if they came every month here and said “we considered it and this is not a priority” they would make things worse.
I’m sorely missing this as well. I’d love to see markup options for this, or at least a code snippet that can act like a properly readable block. This single-line code snippet thing is mostly worthless for anything other then referring to a variable or something.
I’m new to Asana, and I thought I was just missing how to make this happen. Very surprising that this is not implemented.
+1 for what it’s worth! This is great high-visibility, low-effort work to give to a new hire 
Nobody said that, buddy. However, this request has been open for 7 years. Id prefer they just close this ticket and get it done with. As I said: Right now I sit back with a feeling that feature requests, feedback etc doesn’t matter. You might have a different experience and that is fine 
Tbh I am considering moving our company from Asana simply due to this (simple) feature is missing.
Closing the thread means “we won’t do it”. Asana is not saying they won’t do it, for all we know they might be doing it right now. They just simply don’t communicate the roadmap. And they do revisit those feature requests often. So I am hopeful.
If this is the only thing keeping you from using Asana, I hope the next tool you pick will have everything you hope for. Most of the competitors we looked at don’t have a public roadmap either. And they don’t always do what the community is asking, even if they do for years.
