From support ticket: I'd like to have formatting options when it comes to posting a comment through the API. Markdown, HTML, etc.

This is not live - createtaskcomments are NOT available in the API.

Bryce Hoover can we please stop merging in these valid requests?? or at least re-open this request and merge them? These requests are basically going in the trash despite being a different request than this one that was completed 6 years ago. The formatting style in json is absolutely atrocious and I promise you and the developers would acknowledge this.
We need proper markdown support via api for comments.

MARKDOWN/HTML formatting options when posting a comment through the API

I am aware of the already existing "way" to post comments with special formatting but this is HIGHLY cumbersome and requires each developer to write a special parsing system then format each specially formatted word in a JSON (https://jsapi.apiary.io/apis/clickup20/reference/0/comments.html). I see where this is "complete" but can we re-open this because in it's current state, the solution is so burdensome I don't even bother using this methodology. Is there a way we could set a formatting option of the comment to either "HTML" or "Markdown" (more specifically, Markdown please) for the
entire
comment string (that has either Markdown or HTML syntax) like Zendesk API allows? This would greatly increase the readability of the comments posted via API. Thank you!Brendan W

The API call /api/v2/task/{task_id}/comment (https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/CreateTaskComment/) is missing option to submit markup-formatted messages.

Bring the chat formatting experience in line with Docs by allowing formatting the message using Markdown.

While this isn't plainly possible or easy with HTML/Markdown, they do have JSON formatting support, but it's poorly documented and not comprehensive:

Philipp Berner any word on this now that it's a year later (well, 6 years later?)
This is a HUGE missing feature. I don't understand how it isn't supported from the get go.

This is marked as completed but I dont see the options in the API docs. Could you point me to the right direction?

Young-Hwan Kim Looking for the same answer. No update to the docs. It's still just "comment_text" in the docs. Is "markdown_content" enabled? I don't see that working. And markdown sent to "comment_text" does not auto-format. If this was completed, how is it supposed to be used?

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?

Allow using markup when creating ticket comment via an API call

Related to https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/task/abcdef/comment API endpoint.
Allow using markdown syntax (tables, h1, embedded images etc) while adding a comment to a task.
It is possible to use markdown with markdown_content paragraph while creating a new task. I would expect the same behaviour for comments.
