Please, PLEASE, for the love of god, allow us to use Markdown in tasks and comments in Asana. It’s more or less the lingua franca for developers who need to write formatted text on the web at this point and it’s very very frustrating to have to rely on 2000s-style rich text in this tool. Come on, e…

Hi Vanessa, Slack style code highlighting would be really handy for me and my devs. Even this comment box supports it! some multiline code Here is some inline code highlighting.

For instance, one person asked me if I was using Asana to store documentation on projects and the out…

Unfortunately, we don’t have any timeframe to share yet, but rest assured that I have escalated this feedback directly to our Product team. I really do hope we will be able to add th…

What do I hope to achieve that the current Asana settings do not accommodate? Clarity Markdown is absolutely necessary for me when it comes to documentation.
