Support clickable markdown links and URLs in the task title

[Jonathan-Q]

Hi,

My last project tool supported markdown formatting in both the title and body fields. I didn’t realize how much I would miss having markdown formatting until I switched to Asana. Asana doesn’t support markdown links or clickable URLs in the task title.

1. Can you support markdown links and URLs in the task title?

2. Make it possible to click on the link or URL in the task title without having to open the Asana task.

Example markdown URL: Asana Forums

Thanks.

Hi! You can use this extension for Chrome

Asana Link Copier - Chrome Web Store

For those voting for this, also see this request which is very similar:

Insert a hyperlink/form link in the task name

I would love to be able to insert a hyperlink (or even just a link to an Asana form) in the task name instead of the description field. This would be particularly helpful so that a user is not required to drill down into the task description to find a form link. This would also look particularly nice in Board View.

(I’m not merging the two as this request also asks for markdown support which the other request does not.)

This one also seems relevant:

Further Markdown Support

All the current Markdown posts seem to be locked. I take notes in Sublime Text as they happen, in Markdown. When I then copy & paste them into Asana for task tracking, I have to manually reformat links, unordered lists, block quotes, fenced code… Why doesn’t Asana just support CommonMark fully? It should be a drop-in plugin, it’s available in pretty much every codebase…
