Rich Text Editor Component

Overview

Displays a field that allows for users to type text and format it with a variety of style options.
Output is saved as HTML. To get the raw character output, designers can use the Appian function fn!stripHtml() on the output.
HTML output can be passed into Send E-Mail node or document generation smart services. Note that not all formats supported by the Rich Text Editor component may be supported by e-mail or document generation.

Allows uploading of images which get stored in the specified Appian folder (requires separate install of the Rich Text Editor Connected System Plugin).

  • Thank you for creating this component.  But I have run into a problem with this component in one of my applications that you might be able to help me resolve.  When opening a form that has several of these components some times I can't type into one or more of the fields.  It is like it does not have focus.  To solve this issue I have asked the users to click in another field and then come back to the rich text field and you can type.  Any thoughts or ideas?
