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.

  • Hi, 
    we are encountering an issue during typing in the text field. The cursor is reset to a former position and text is erased.
    This happens during the component reload on the page. In the past we didn't see that behavior. We are on the latest version of the component and running Appian Version 22.2

    Please see the attached short video for a detailed impression of the issue.
    Any hints how to resolve this?

    Thanks.
