Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Live markdown is not shown for admin in workspace invite message but in employee workspace chat markdown is applied.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We don't using this InputWrapper as type markdown

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspaceInviteMessagePage.tsx

Lines 212 to 216 in 06ea630

	<InputWrapper
	InputComponent={TextInput}
	role={CONST.ROLE.PRESENTATION}
	inputID={INPUT_IDS.WELCOME_MESSAGE}
	label={translate('workspace.inviteMessage.personalMessagePrompt')}

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should pass the type as markdown for this input

      <InputWrapper
          InputComponent={TextInput}
          role={CONST.ROLE.PRESENTATION}
          ...
          type="markdown"
       />

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspaceInviteMessagePage.tsx

Lines 212 to 216 in 06ea630

	<InputWrapper
	InputComponent={TextInput}
	role={CONST.ROLE.PRESENTATION}
	inputID={INPUT_IDS.WELCOME_MESSAGE}
	label={translate('workspace.inviteMessage.personalMessagePrompt')}

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

None

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA
