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?

In 2025, this would be super handy to use with MCP servers. Right now my AI agent can have a bunch of formatted text, but there is not a practical way to add it to a comment with formatting. Most AIs understand and output Markdown, so supporting a "commentMarkdown" field that ClickUp then formats internally into rich text would be incredibly useful. You already have the /markdown command in the text editor, so it should ideally be basically identical to this.
Another use case is task descriptions - for example the Sentry integration can create tasks but they are just markdown-flavored plain text instead of formatted and I always have to go in and cut, type /md, paste and save.

I do the same thing for Sentry, so this would be very helpful if ClickUp would just understand the Markdown from the start.
Same for the AI-generated data, it can usually be easily generated as Markdown and should be easy to add.

This is 4 years old already SMTier Admin Can we have an update on get and post for markdown from fields. You added it to the custom field but not through API.

markdown is a very essential!
Patrick Brennan
Yep, agree we need markdown support in the API & the comments / documents!
Prateek Rathod
Please support markdown style text as default. The semantics and syntax is quite mature and a lot of people need it.

Yes this, please!
