I need to create a simple table as part of the Task Description. How can I do this from a REST request? I used markdown in the string for the description but it didn't work.

Into descriptions and docs ;) https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/doc-view-insert-table

would be nice

I want this too, i wanted to represent a table of data for the task description.

Would be awesome if you can use or at least can consider table formats defined by other tools using special characters - For example in Jira we are using the Jira Text Editor Extension where the table header and columns are defined in description when in text edit mode and when saved the table is then automatically displayed - See two screenshots below

(1) shows the Text Editor with "|" as main column separators and "||" for header columns so they get highlighted

(2) it will show the table structure as per to the "|" used

Maybe the user can have similar editor functionality for the tables created so they can also keep their tables when imported from Jira

This really would be one feature that would solve a lot of content management issues.

Would simplify things a lot!

But pls don't implement with Google sheets - I'm not a big fan of putting data on any Google platform.

i really need this in my descriptions to.

We are going to send mails from our internal system to clickup to create a task, but in the body of the email there is a table with information that we want in clickup.

This would be extremely valuable - lots of uses cases - especially when tracking financials for anyone using this as a CRM/Sales Management tool.
