Possible future support in API for markdown conversion when changing Asana rich text fields like Asana UI does now?

About two weeks ago Asana UI added this:

Further Markdown Support

Hi Asana Community Today I wanted to announce you can now copy supported Markdown, paste it into an Asana rich-text editor, and review it as formatted rich text without manually rebuilding links, lists, quotes, or code. To try it, copy your Markdown, open a supported Asana rich-text editor, paste, and review the converted formatting. The conversion supports headings, bold, italic, ordered and unordered lists (including nested lists), links, blockquotes, inline code, fenced code bl…

What are the chances for support in the API, not just the UI, for getting access to the .md-to-Asana rich text converter you have, but is now only available interactively in the UI?

Markdown has become even more ubiquitous, and this could become more and more useful.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi @lpb , thanks for flagging this, and apologies for the slow reply.

From my initial review of the related work, API support for Markdown doesn’t appear to have been part of that release’s scope. I agree it’s a reasonable expectation, though.

I’ll make sure to initiate the assessment whether we can bring this to the API at a reasonable engineering cost, and I’ll update this thread once I have more to share. Thanks!

Much appreciated, @Mikhail_Melikhov, and I’ll stand by and look forward hearing what you learn.

Thanks,

Larry
