Examples of rich data in description field:
Examples of extra properties on Outlook tasks:
Below is an example of a synchronization process of a task with rich data from Outlook to Google and back to Outlook:
The task contains a link to an Outlook email and a bullet list, which are rich elements.
An alteration is now being made to the task - the name "Jim" is replaced with "Elizabeth" and we do another synchronization.
The conclusion is that the text of the description field can be freely edited at Google without interfering with the images and documents attached, but you will lose the rich formatting.
