Highlight and comment on text in task description

Would be nice to have the ability to highlight a line or text in a task description and comment on it. Then— it would show a link in the comments section and quote the highlighted text. There would also be an indication that indicates that line or text was commented on.
This makes it easier if you have a lengthy description and team members want to comment on something in particular!
Similar to how notion does this: https://bit.ly/2CcPq3j

Ability to add comments to task description text like docs.
Currently when I select a text in some document, I can add a comment to that particular text, similarly it would be great to be able to do the same for task description text as well.

Add comments in task description (on selected text)

It's helpful to be able to select text in a doc and mention someone. But in a task, there is no way to do this. There's only the comments on the right-hand side, which doesn't give you the context of the description.
So then when a task description would really be better than a doc, we end up having to use a doc in order to get the comments on specific pieces of text.
Would be nice to have feature parity between docs and task descriptions since they have about 90% parity.

Task Description Comments

Ability to add comments on task description text like docs.
Currently we can open a ClickUp doc and select some text to add comment on that part of the text, but the same is not available on the task descriptions.
It would be great to have similar comments ability there as well.

Clickup Team why is this moving back! Urgently needed! Communicating about Task Descriptions is so confusing.
Top 3 of what I would like to see from Clickup right now!!

Elias Höfer: Can you share any workarounds that you or your team use at the moment (if any)?

PRETTY PLEASE!! I was so excited to see ClickUp 4.0 today—thank you for all the new features! However, it’s frustrating that while advanced features keep getting added, basic functionality like commenting directly in the task description for easy context and discussion is still missing. This would save me hours every day. Right now, I have to either create a doc just to reference text with my team or copy and paste from the description into comments, which adds unnecessary steps to my workflow. I’d love to see an easier way to reference and discuss specific parts of a task without extra clicks or creating separate docs for small daily needs. Please consider adding this to the roadmap—it would make a huge difference. Thank you!

Naima Booth: Thank you for the excitement around 4.0 and appreciate you sharing your workarounds for this flow. Can you share a bit more about how your team structures their task descriptions? I'd love to learn more.

That’s a great idea, Sophia—having the option to highlight specific lines and comment directly would really improve collaboration and clarity in long descriptions. Just like how https://nikaah.pk/ streamlines wedding planning by letting couples focus on the exact vendors they need, this feature would let teams pinpoint and address key details without losing context. It saves time and keeps discussions organized.
