Hyperlinks in Comments

Typing a URL in a comment does not render the URL as a hyperlink when the comment is saved. It would be much more user-friendly to render these as hyperlinks.

    Absolutely needed! I'm shocked how few votes the hyperlinks suggestions are getting. I think it's vital to have links, @ mentions, and # tag be active.

    We would urgently Need These Hyperlinks at work, as we use it for Staffing and enter the application link of the candidate.

    Why do we need to upload a link like it's something unusual?
    how about a pin comment and just allow links in the comments?

  • Karen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I find this particularly problematic because you're able to enter it as a hyperlink behind text, but once saved, only the text displays, so you've lost the url.

    So I really support this.

    It would be very nice that we could add links in the comments. Also it would be nice to have the possibility of attaching OneNote links, now is not working...

  • Jake commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Links in the attachment is reasonably easy to use, and I like the way it shows up on a card. That being said, ability to add links in description and (especially) comments would be very useful. Voted on this.

    IMHO this very useful and misssing feature, also with @user_name - Trello has these both + linking another task.

  • Dan Neumann commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I never thought that "Attachment" would include a hyperlink. That's not intuitive at all. I had expected it to be like Yammer, where the link is just recognized, or Trello, where I can specify [link](text). I added a "vote" to this.

  • James commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I want to just paste links - adding links as attachments is too slow!

  • Dave commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I found placing the link under the "Attachments" section worked well.

    Adding the hyperlink in Outlook 2016 breaks the whole card! It won't display any more in Planner.
