User Problem
Users who rely on Markdown for their workflows and integrations in Trello are experiencing slowdowns and added complexity due to the transition from Trello's dedicated editor to the shared Atlassian platform editor. This change has led to inconsistencies in Markdown syntax interpretation and the inability to directly edit Markdown.
Suggested Solutions
Introduce a dedicated Markdown editing view in Trello where users can directly edit Markdown without conversion to WYSIWYG formatted text. Ensure that all standard Markdown syntax is fully supported to restore efficiency and confidence for users.

[TRELLO-601] As a Trello user, I'd like a dedicated markdown editing view on Card back

Description |
Original:
On August 15, 2024, Trello updated the card back editing experience to utilize the shared Atlassian platform editor service. The deprecation of Trello's dedicated editor also meant the deprecation of a direct Markdown editing experience. The shared editor does support on-the-fly interpretation of most Markdown syntax, converting it to the WYSIWYG editing experience, as well as the ability to "View" and copy the Markdown code. However, some minor inconsistencies with standard Markdown syntax interpretation, and the inability to directly view _and edit_ the Markdown introduces some extra steps and workflow slowdown for users that heavily utilize this syntax in their larger processes and integrations.
Adding support for: * a dedicated Markdown editing view, * where Markdown is directly editable (instead of converted to WYSIWYG formatted text, or is read-only), * where all formal Markdown syntax is supported would restore speed and confidence for users that rely on this syntax for their day to day operations. |

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in this feature request. After careful consideration, we have decided to change the status of this ticket from "Gathering Interest" to "Not being considered." The primary reason for this decision is that Trello uses a common editor across Atlassian products, which does not support markdown.
We understand that this may be disappointing news, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please know that this decision was made to ensure consistency and compatibility across our product suite.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with other matters, please feel free to reach out.
Best regards,
Trello Product Management
