Advanced Rich Text Editor (Vuram)

Overview

The Rich Text Editor Component can be used on Appian interfaces where you want to show the rich text information in readable format to the end user. We can use the component to show it as an email subject typing interface.

With this component you can add images, customize tables etc. This also has a functionality called placeholders using which you can use the same information in multiple items in the editor without retyping.
Additionally it allows uploading of images which get stored in the specified Appian folder (requires separate install of the Rich Text Editor Connected System Plug-in).

Note:

  1. It is recommended to use one ARTE Component in a Page/Interface.
  2. We do not encourage to use Short as height in the component.

  • Hello  ,

    We are using version 1.6.1 of the plugin and trying to use the "imageValidation" parameter with a "maxSize" value to set a limitation on the size of the images that a user can upload in the component. As you can see from the screenshot, however, I set the maxSize to 3 KB but was still able to upload an image that far exceeds the maxSize parameter (the image in this screenshot is over 5 MB) and no validation was shown. This screenshot is a simplified example but we have also been able to submit a process from a site using a start form with the same imageValidation setup. Is there something wrong with how we set the imageValidation and maxSize values or is this a bug?
