Better Rich Text support please!

We’re find the discussion “rich text” to be very limiting and haven't yet found a decent workaround nor anything in the apps marketplace that can help. We often (every day) have project conversations that require simple tables to be pasted into the feed but even when we enable “rich text” discussions, the field does not support what we paste. Can you think of anything that we could do to get this important information distributed among team members and attached to the project/task?

Hi All - in Q1 2017 we will be introducing a new field (called "Overview") on Work Items  that will be a rich-text field with support for building tables and adding images.  The "Overview" field will be displayable on the property card, and will be searchable in the global search. 

The Overview field will be extended to other entities later on and functionality for adding tables via a rich-text editor will later be extended to discussions as well.

In case others see this, I just wanted to note that if you reply to discussion threads via email, the HTML table is supported and displayed nicely in Clarizen - there's just no way to paste it in if you are entering via Clarizen. Would be nice to see a real HTML text editor used within Clarizen but I see this has already been requested in CR-286961

Agreed; this is a feature that my PM's ask for daily along with having the ability to highlight, change text color, etc.

Agreed - we would like to be able to put rich text into the description and/or custom fields as well. Use of bullet points / table formatting is key for tracking some types of requirements for easy consumption by our developers.
