The same functionality available when logging an idea in this post.
Format text (e.g. Bold, bullets, automatic numbering) in conversation and in partial area within a cell.
The ability to create a much richer experience for row comments (eg. text formatting; sections; to do's, etc..) would be a quick win that would dramatically improve the overall experience for this [almost] great tool!
I think the HTML text editor type capabilities for Conversations Comments would be a great improvement. I could really make good, practical use of it now for what I am working on. Thank you.
While implementing the transition from Monday.com to Smartsheet for several of my company's teams, the lack of formatted text options in the comments section is one of our top complaints amongst users. It is something so basic to have already and so common, that it is rather surprising to know it is not yet developed in an Enterprise level PMO / Project Management system.
Perhaps use HTML with a WYSIWYG editor toolbar. It doesn't have to be Microsoft's RTF. I believe when people are asking for Rich Text in this suggestion, they are using that terminology generically. So, anything to enhance the formatting to allow bold, italic, bullets, etc. will work.
