@alexander Belyaev Here is the ordered list. I put the zendesk reference number, when available. I believe I have one zendesk reference missing (Multiple description formats...).

The one called "Long delay..." is about the post-processing formatting of the description. It would be great to have the API return the exact final description when creating/updating a task instead of finding out about it at a later time.

Let me know if you have any question regarding these.


253626 API Rate Limit needs to be by Oauth account
245878 API: Hyperlink duplicated in description
Long delay when updating description
Multiple description formats lost when creating tasks through API
244255 <ol> transformed into <ul>
244334 Lists entered in UI don't report properly in API
238976 Tables are badly supported in descriptions

@eryk Warren On 245878 - it's only about "mailto:" links, is that correct?

in fact, no, we've seen the same problem with regular http links.

@eryk Warren Is it consistent and always reproduces with "mailto:" links? And is it completely random with regular links, no patterns we could try to reproduce?

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: bearer KXrOLp9tUKqI1BTeCEIXyCloAI5Envz7OSSn4zx3rTMUtb6gUntghnoqPA1GtHL0-N-N" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d 'title=Double link&description=<a href="https://google.com&#34;https://google.com&#34;https://google.com&#39;; https://www.wrike.com/api/v3/folders/IEAA2I3II4CKBQYH/tasks

The data you receive from this command includes:

"id": "IEAA2I3IKQCT3CGN",
"description": "<a href=&#34;https://google.com\&#34;; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;>";,

However, after a few minutes, a query to that specific task returns:

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: bearer KXrOLp9tUKqI1BTeCEIXyCloAI5Envz7OSSn4zx3rTMUtb6gUntghnoqPA1GtHL0-N-N" https://www.wrike.com/api/v3/tasks/IEAA2I3IKQCT3CGN

"description": "<a href=&#34;https://google.com\&#34;; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;></a><a href=&#34;https://google.com\&#34;; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;>
