Action Performed:

1. Press on the global create button
2. Press Request Money -> Manual -> enter any amount -> choose any participants
3. Press on the description field
4. type markdown text into the description field

Note: There are more permutations of this, the intention with this issue is that it should capture all money request description fields, including:

• 1:1 requests, splits, and send money
• different types of requests such as manual v.s. scan v.s. distance

Expected Result:

The markdown styling should render in real-time, as it does for the main chat composer.

Actual Result:

No live markdown formatting.

Workaround:

⚠️ It looks like this issue is labelled as a New Feature but not tied to any GitHub Project. Keep in mind that all new features should be tied to GitHub Projects in order to properly track external CAP software time ⚠️

accidentally included the upwork tag from the previous issue in a copy/pasta situation. Going to try re-applying External to see if we can get new upwork jobs created
