[Status: Launched ๐Ÿš€] Hyperlinks in discussion

Hi,

I was wondering why there is the ability to add Hyperlinks in the description field of a Task/Folder/Project but not in the discussion area?

I know you can paste links in but would be useful to create shorter hyperlinks to docs/websites here as well especially if the discussions get quite long.

Hi Jesse Pepper, welcome to the Community! ๐Ÿ™Œ

For now, this is not planned by the team. Unfortunately, I can't share such a list as we don't provide a public roadmap at the moment. We share all updates and new releases in the Weekly Release Notes, so you can start following or just checking the forum to be able to see what's new ๐Ÿ‘

Hi Lilian Cheng, Josh Merkle, thank you both for posting.ย 

Weโ€™d love to be able to implement all of the suggestions that our customers share with us, but we have to prioritize certain requests over others based on various factors and considerations at the time. Although this isnโ€™t in the short-term roadmap, we will continue to pass on all of your feedback and insights here to our Product Team, and of course, we will let you know if anything changes.ย 

Please be sure to add your upvote if you haven't yet๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Hi everyone, wanted to share an update here. Since the vote count for this suggestion has reached 60 we've checked with the team and they have confirmed that this request is currently not planned, so we've updated the status here to reflect this.ย 
ย 
I know this will come as disappointing news, but the team is focused on the implementation of other updates and features that take priority and as such, there are no plans for this.ย I'd encourage anyone who is interested in this feature to continue to vote here, the more votes a suggestion has, the more the team understands how popular and sough-after a request is. You can see more about how we work with Product Feedback in this post.ย 
ย 
Please do continue to add your upvotes and use cases here and we'll be sure to share your thoughts with our Product team and let you know about any updates in relation to this suggestion if there are any in the future.

Up vote!ย  Bigger questions is why this wasn't the default to begin with.ย  This "feature" is available on every other platform I use like basecamp, slack, this forum, etc...ย  I love wrike, but this is just doesn't make any sense to me?!?!

Upvote!ย  What Richard Barrus said!

ย 

The fact that for something to 'change' it has to have a 'Leaderboard' -style support is embarrassing.ย  Do I dare ask... where does 60 votes rank on the 'Leaderboard' of Wrike improvements?ย  Is it behind things with, say, 100+ votes?ย  1,000+ votes?

ย 

It's embarrassing.ย  It's been almost 4 years (!) since the original post!ย  The Wrike team has acknowledged this is a deficiency, but essentially continues to state that "because this only has 60 votes and not (x), we're not going to do anything about."ย  I mean, c'mon... think about that.ย  That's laughable.ย ย 

ย 

There could be a slew of reasons this only has 60 votes...

  • maybe ppl don't know that ;hyperlinking in discussions' isย 
  • Maybe ppl know what it is, but don't know they need to 'vote' to get positive movement on incorporating the feature
  • Maybe ppl don't knowย how to vote
  • Maybe the Wrike user base is only 60 ppl total!

ย 

I mean, c'mon guys.ย  Make it make sense, people!

Hi Richard Barrus and Josh Merkle, thank you both for sharing your thoughts, we do understand and appreciate your feedback. Please allow me to add a little more detail in relation to this. When deciding what to work on next, the Product team looks at a wide range of information. They review all relevant data, user feedback, and Community suggestions/votes and this detail guides them on what to prioritize next.
ย 
The team always aims to focus on implementing the functionality that will have the widest impact and benefit for the most users, and it's for this reason, that we can't implement all of the suggestions we receive via our various feedback channels.
ย 
The Community plays a large role in helping the team plan future updates and the more votes a Community suggestion has the better the team understands how much interest there is for an idea. It doesn't mean a request under 60 votes wouldn't happen or that once it's above a certain vote count, it would. It's simply a way to demonstrate the interest of our Community members. You can find out more about the Community-led requests that are being investigated or launched here.
ย 
There is still an opportunity for this suggestion to be implemented in the future and this is where votes and feedback matter. Please do continue to share your feedback here and encourage others to upvote this suggestion as all of this will be passed on to the team and will help illustrate how sought-after this functionality is.
ย 
I hope this helps, if you need any more information, or if there's anything else I can help with here, please do let me know.

@... it would be great to get at least a tiny bit more feedback onย why that's the dev team's recommendation.ย  Is it because it's a bit technically difficult given the present architecture, or is it because they believe it might lead to wrike being used in ways that they feel it shouldn't be used?

Hey Jesse Pepper, this would be a very big change that requires a lot of resources, and for that reason, the team can't prioritize it at the moment. We understand this is disappointing for everyone who's been supporting this thread. We'll keep sending the team new feedback and vote count here and we'll let you know if there are any changes.ย
