Formatting options in comments
Ellen Arvidsson
Bold, Italic, Bullets and even headers are available - if you know what to do. My team found out by a typo that:
This will be bold
(You put ** on both sides of the text)_This will be italic_
* This will be a bullet
This will be H1 (since this worked in the comments as well - single # infront of text)
## This will be H2
But I'd definitely love to have a visual way of doing this instead, like buttons.

Ellen Arvidsson: wow, way to go Ellen! You don't even get a visual preview, so it really is rough like you said, but it's better than a sharp stick in the eye that's for sure! Thanks!

Also : bullet points, strikethrough, numbered lists, and URL linking auto completing in real-time so you are not guessing whether it will be plaintext or a hyperlink after submitting the comment.

Chris Gates: FWIW this is seen as at least one barrier to our team moving our bug tracking from JIRA to Favro. We often need to provide lists, bullet points, and titles in comments in order to reject or approve tasks as they move through our workflow.

Would love to have it similar to slack! Especially when it comes to ease of use, copy and pasting screenshots, etc.

I agree, missing from the comments is a big downside currently 👍🏼
