Text Editor for Description/Comment sections in Sprintr Stories

3

As a product owner or developer I am having serious difficulties formatting my explanations when writing my stories in the Sprintr environment. Because a team has no way to efficiently communicate on the progress of stories other than using the commenting section – which is tedious when comments pile up on a large story – I would suggest expanding the abilities of communication by:

Adding a text editor to the comments and description sections on the Story element in the Mendix Sprintr environment.
The text editor would be more than sufficient already if it were like this one on the forum.
Since Mendix does not have the priority to focus on Scrumming tools and build a proper scrumming environment, I would suggest to at least make it easier for users to properly present what they want with your built-in Sprintr tool. Currenlty I find it a bit frustrating when providing clarity during development – and we all know that clarity is essential when it comes to building great applications.

Other than that, keep up the great work Mendix Team!

Cheers!

Hi Nikola, happy to report that our new agile planning tool has been launched yesterday! Try Epics out and let us know what you thing about the formatting options in story description and comments. Now you will also be able to @mention people and add emoji reactions to comments :)

Hi Nikola, we are currently working on a brand new tool which will replace Stories. Currently it has tons of formatting options in the story description and we were looking into the needs for formatting in comments as well – so thank you for sharing this!
