Add more editing options in task's description

Was just told that the description filed doesn't support HTML and therefore my formatted copy/paste from Outlook (bulleted lists as example) don't properly copy to the field and add spaces where they should be.  Would like to see this improved so I don't have to create PDF attachments to keep document formatting.

Would be nice to include also emoji's in the description area

Without this feature, the Outlook integration really falls apart quickly.  It is an awesome feature to be able to create a task or add comments directly from Outlook.  But when all the outlook formatting is removed from the document, the "content" falls apart and you lose readability.  Example, I just had a customer respond to an email where I asked them to answer several questions.  They responded in red font so I could easily see their answers.  I wanted to capture these requirements in my Wrike task and all their work is eliminated on import.  Now I have to go back in and use what little formatting Wrike allows to try and highlight the answers.  Its a great start but need this one change to push it over the finish line if I can use that analogy.

I would love to see all of these enhancements implemented! I would especially love the ability to INDENT a tasklist in the description.

Looks like indent on a tasklist is working now, but I really stress over the pasting of formatted lists with heirarchy

We started using hierarchy lists more often instead of subtasks to make things easier to work with and copying these in and out of wrike doesnt work

any updates on when we can paste into wrike with HTML formatting respected?

Hey everyone, thank you for all of the feedback here!

I don't have an update for you at the moment, but as soon as I do, I'll let you know.

The formatting options in the Description area of the task needs some improvements, especially the Table formatting options.  You should be able to shade a cell and control column widths.  We have been using Wrike since 2020 and I've seen no improvements to formatting options availability.  

Is this something that is ever going to be improved upon?
