IMPORTANT: Select component plug-ins are experiencing issues due to a recent browser update. If you encounter any problems with previously functional component plug-ins, please create a support case. If you notice other component plug-ins that are not functioning correctly, please create additional support cases for each instance.

Overview

Starting in 24.2, the Styled Text Editor Component is available directly in the product. Consider using this in place of the plug-in moving forward. For more information, review: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/latest/Styled_Text_Editor_Component.html

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 from https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/rich-text-editor-image-upload-connected-system).

Can you please help me out on the issue. Please find below sample code.

Hyperlinks have to be prefixed with https:// -- I'd suggest using substitute() function or the regex plugin to automatically add https:// to the beginning of URLs that start with www only.
