Workflow Actions/FlexiTask: Ability to use HTML Templates
On many workflows, we re-use most of the same verbiage and it would be helpful to have a method where we can pre-load a FlexiTask with a template and populate it with workflow variables. Right now, the only way of doing this is to click Flexi > Edit HTML > Drag to notepad, then manually drag into each Flexi. However if you click in the wrong spot once you paste the HTML in, you will get some formatting issues.

In addition to HTML templates, I suggest that the format of the mails sent in all the "user interaction" actions (mail notification, flexi task...) can inherit from an optional CSS file, defined at web application and/or site collection level.
It would avoid formatting issues that we often face with the embedded rich text editor.

To add some additional context, I would be nice to have a method to where you could save a block of HTML code as a snippet and apply that snippet inside the WUSIWUG FlexiTask editor.
Example:
<p>First name: workflowVariable$firstName<br>
Last name: workflowVariable$lastName<br>
Title: workflowVariable$Title</p>Click button or drag/drop within Flexi to set this. Similar to what you would get with a JavaScript template but you would assign Nintex workflow variables as the template variables.
