CheckBox support/MarkDown in Bitbucket's Pull-Request default description

[Saisurya Kattamuri]

I would like to add checkboxes in BitBucket's Pull-Request default description to have some thing like this. I would like to know if adding checkboxes in supported in current description box or to ask if its possible to add MarkDown Support for this.

[Ana Retamal]

Hi Saisurya, 

Unfortunately, the checkboxes will not be rendered, they'll be shown as brackets. There's an existing Feature request in our issue tracker, you can find it at https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/8586/support-task-lists-in-markdown-bb-9699. 

You can vote on it to increase its popularity.

For future reference, you can also find a list of all the supported markdown here. 

Hope that helps!

Ana

Thanks for the reply; but please do consider this feature, ticket was created 6 years ago.

Being a commercial company, implementing such a simple feature should not take a long time

@Saisurya Kattamuri  this will be implemented in year 2119.

[Gian Santillan]

its already dec 15, 2019 :joy:

This would be a really nice feature.

I'd like to ask kindly, if this feature will be implemented within this century, as we are thinking about a broader use of bitbucket in our company and this feature request is one of the step stones.

[Pankaj Jain]

This should be a feature in bitbucket. GitHub already allows it.  It makes PRs more meaningful for reviewers.

[Alicia_Tang]

This feature is so important. Should support it soon...

[Nathan Floor]

Agreed, super useful when using PR templates

Any workarounds or shortcuts?

[vytenis_kuciauskas]

two years later... - it's gone

Looks like the workaround and shortcut is to switch to Github where development doesn't take 10 years

[vytenis_kuciauskas]

Bitbucket needs a good kick in assss and move forward. Now it is like some legacy stuff which is hard to remove or migrate to a better place. And that "better" is probably anything not a bitbucket. For example it has to many downtimes, pipelines are to slow, main bitbucket is hosted in US only? If I refresh the page or commit it takes to much time from my live.

[Seth Weinheimer]

Workaround is switching to Github or Gitlab

[Michael Salinas]

!! Bumping this for users in 2022

[Yannick Stephan]

2023 same..

[punditavi]

It will really be a nice addition.

[Gabriel Antunes Tenório]

Happy new year everyone! Still waiting for checkbox support.

[lm-rex]

Still waiting for this!

[Harsha J K]

Still waiting for this feature :( 

[gnowland]

Adding my bump, come onnnn

[Maciek Sitkowski]

Happy 2025, see you next year! 🎉

[Aaron Camacho]

June 2025, I'll move to Github 

[Seth Miller]

We should probably just use GitHub...

[Harsha J K]

Absolutely!!!

[melnikaite]

You can use Create Task

[Jamie Reynolds]

This was my thought also but if you want to go into detail there isnt a great deal of room. I'm trying this



though there is bit of a disconnect.

[Raphael Tacla]

Too bad you can't do that on the default PR description.

[Nathan Schor]

+1 to this! Adding checkboxes to issues would be so helpful and much appreciated

[vikkrantxx7]

What is taking soooooooooooooo long?

[Aaron Camacho]
