[API 2.0] Get task content
under review

Roman Wollenburg
Make task's content available via task-api. Gladly optional, and gladly as markdown or html to get full content. Another approach: Additional API-Endpoint to get Task-Content by taskId

Same thing for Task Comments, markdown or html of comments would be great in webhook payloads or GetComment API

As of a few weeks ago, 90% of this feature has been added in an update.
A new field "description_markdown" was added for GET, PUT and POST operations.
I haven't tested a lot of different markdown types, but most of it seems to work.
There is only one HUGE bug: Exporting the "description_markdown" and re-importing the exact SAME string via PUT/POST destroys and scrambles the text in ClickUp. Not for every type of markdown, but a LOT!

To improve the functionality, it would be beneficial to include support for GET, PUT, and POST operations. A similar approach to handling comments can be employed, where you can already retrieve an array of text block elements with attributes like italic: true.
Implementing Markdown and HTML support would be even better since it would save each one of us from having to individually map ClickUp's special notation to markdown/HTML and vice versa.
Fortunately, the current manual import functionality available for documents can handle different file formats. Just copy that to over to the API.

Felix Schmidt: Thank you for elaborating and highlighting this.
We're doing some work towards a new API v3 interface. We're aiming to have a unified way to deal with formatted text across the entire API.

We need to have task content as markdown. This is crucial for us.

Currently tasks assigned to teams are not returned in the API. This is a significant lack and nowhere documented in the API documentation.

This is critical for us! If linking to a google doc in the description, without this we are unable to extract the google doc id!

We really need information about Recurring tasks - when they start and for how long they repeat in a certain period (weekly, daily...)
We integrate Clickup with Power BI that we use for statistics on Bookings across several departments

An API to get task updates via task_id will be great. Looking forward for more updates on this FR.
