RTL support
Sella Yoffe
can you add support for Right-To-Left languages? Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Azeri, Dhivehi/Maldivian, Kurdish (Sorani), Persian/Farsi, Urdu.
meaning to have the option to justify the paragraph (currently supported in notes) AND the text writing direction.
thanks.

It's really important for us...

I found out that ClickUp is using Quill editor. Quill supports many formatting options, including text direction (https://quilljs.com/docs/formats/) and it's possible to show paragraph direction button on toolbar (https://quilljs.com/docs/modules/toolbar/).
As a product owner, I would go with a story which adds more business value with less effort, and I think this is the case: lots of users will benefit by just changing a line of configuration!
I hope ClickUp does so and resolves this request.

Hey Hossein Taleghani! Thank you for sharing. We're now focusing on speed and reliability but I'll make sure to surface this to the team 🙂.

Hossein Taleghani: I just wanted to piggyback off what Waleed said, but with our ongoing localization efforts (new languages coming soon!) we will eventually be implementing RTL support. All of ClickUp's features utilize different formats for text, and Quill-enabled fields like descriptions or Docs does not cover everything. This mean to have full FTL support across the app there is more implementation to be done!

Brendan Wolfe: Thanks for your explanation. I respect your priorities (about performance improvements or adding l10n) and I understand that "RTL support" is not just about Quill-enabled fields. Even with those fields, there will be more to be done¹ than just enabling direction button in the toolbar. But I think this little change (as a part of the bigger story) resolves many issues of users. It looks a 80/20 to me.
Why it's that much important to me? Because ClickUp is a great tool and we want to use it, but this issue is a deal breaker.
¹ As I mentioned earlier, our team has recently contributed to Outline editor to add RTL support and we had experienced its difficulties.
Brendan Wolfe
Hossein Taleghani: To be able to get the full benefit we definitely want to introduce this across the entire app, but trust me our team is actually working on RTL support for future languages! I completely understand how important it is to you and our users and I promise we'll get there soon!

Brendan Wolfe: maybe you can start with the stuff that can be done easily, then do the other stuff later
Brendan Wolfe
Malek: We're building full support across the entire app for this, do not worry!

Any news about RTL support? that's kind of a deal breaker when it comes to choosing a task management system. Please update!

arent you top leaders in tech?
its so disappointed to see such a lack of listening to users and being in front of the tech leadrers.

In light of the rising clickup in middle east, I think this is an extremely important task.

Thanks Lauren for opening this feature request.
We need to write bi-directional text in both Docs and Tasks, like what is done in this PR: https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor/pull/469
It's good to know that there are 12 languages with RTL writing systems (including Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu and Persian) in more than 30 countries.
