      1. What is the nature and description of the request?
      The customer requests the ability to use Markdown formatting in the Description field of Job Templates and Workflows within Ansible Automation Platform (AAP). This would allow users to include rich text elements such as bold, italic, lists, code blocks, and links in their descriptions. The feature should ideally be configurable through a controller setting (for example, an option to allow safe Markdown rendering).

      2. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
      The customer manages complex automation workflows and relies on detailed descriptions to document their purpose and logic. Supporting Markdown formatting would make these descriptions more readable, structured, and self-explanatory. This would help their platform management team and other users quickly understand workflow details, improving collaboration, documentation quality, and overall operational efficiency.

      3. How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

      • Allow Markdown syntax in the "Description" field of Job Templates and Workflows.
      • Provide a controller-level setting to enable or disable safe Markdown rendering for security and flexibility.
      • Ensure Markdown-formatted descriptions render consistently across the AAP UI, including the workflow visualizer's side panel view.
