As they are no real popups, the browser cannot block them.

Would these be affected by any popup blockers installed in the browser?

In case of Parameters pass them Also

},
style: "TOOLBAR",

That's a pretty clever solution. Even though button styles are out of date in the example code, this is a pretty simple solution to implement in a parent interface.

All you need to do is enclose them in separate Rich Text Item instances.

BTW please be sure to use the Code Box to ensure readability.

I am confused. A rich text display field takes a list of rich text items. Each can be formatted individually.

yes, I am able to make the title of the dialog box bold but not the other text. I do not want the entire text to be bold. Only a few words in the dialog box.

As that dialog is just a normal Appian interface, bold text should not be much of a challenge.

This is great info. Thank you. Is there a way to bold some texts in a popup dialog? I only want to bold the first word in a sentence..

Thank you Stefan for the blog post! As new to Appian, this is definitely one topic that I need to align my mindset to how Appian is built.
