MARKDOWN/HTML formatting options when posting a comment through the API
Micah Mitchell
I am aware of the already existing "way" to post comments with special formatting but this is HIGHLY cumbersome and requires each developer to write a special parsing system then format each specially formatted word in a JSON (https://jsapi.apiary.io/apis/clickup20/reference/0/comments.html). I see where this is "complete" but can we re-open this because in it's current state, the solution is so burdensome I don't even bother using this methodology. Is there a way we could set a formatting option of the comment to either "HTML" or "Markdown" (more specifically, Markdown please) for the
entire
comment string (that has either Markdown or HTML syntax) like Zendesk API allows? This would greatly increase the readability of the comments posted via API. Thank you!Brendan W

The API call /api/v2/task/{task_id}/comment (https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/CreateTaskComment/) is missing option to submit markup-formatted messages.

Bring the chat formatting experience in line with Docs by allowing formatting the message using Markdown.

While this isn't plainly possible or easy with HTML/Markdown, they do have JSON formatting support, but it's poorly documented and not comprehensive:

Philipp Berner any word on this now that it's a year later (well, 6 years later?)
This is a HUGE missing feature. I don't understand how it isn't supported from the get go.

This is marked as completed but I dont see the options in the API docs. Could you point me to the right direction?

Young-Hwan Kim Looking for the same answer. No update to the docs. It's still just "comment_text" in the docs. Is "markdown_content" enabled? I don't see that working. And markdown sent to "comment_text" does not auto-format. If this was completed, how is it supposed to be used?

Allow styling of comments in API | Markdown

Right now, it's only possible to pass along the text for a comment. It'd be great if we can affect things such as weight, size, color, etc for comments using the API. Maybe we could have an option to send the comment text as markdown text?

Allow using markup when creating ticket comment via an API call
Maciej Duda
Related to https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/task/abcdef/comment API endpoint.
Allow using markdown syntax (tables, h1, embedded images etc) while adding a comment to a task.
It is possible to use markdown with markdown_content paragraph while creating a new task. I would expect the same behaviour for comments.

Allow Markdown In Comments Via API
Hooked Advertising
Hi There! Would GREATLY appreciate it if you could allow markdown via API for comments.
Comments is a great way to pass down information and updates relating to a certain task. As a marketing company, I use tasks as a way to keep track of and manage a campaign's performance.
Right now, I have already started leveraging on API to extract performance metrics from the social media platforms we use to advertise to add them to clickup.
However, the only way I'm able to use them effectively as of now is to create and add the metrics in table markdown format to the task's description which honestly isn't an effective way for my team to see the changes in the results overtime.
Please help, thank you!

Add API Support for Markdown in Comment Text

Christian Román García
Please add support for Markdown formatting in the comment_text parameter when creating task comments via the ClickUp API. Currently, when creating comments via the API endpoint POST /api/v2/task/{task_id}/comment, the comment_text parameter only accepts plain text. Any Markdown formatting is treated as literal text rather than being rendered as formatted content.
