It would be helpful to have formatting options available for use in CUSTOM FORMS within the projects such as bullet points, underlines, bold, etc. It would be SUPER helpful to be able to copy and paste text from another source and maintain the formatting. Many times our requestors are providing information from mother sources and are presently losing the formatting that keeps their lengthy information block organized and easy to read.

Hi everyone who has up-voted for this idea !

The Workfront Product team has good news for you - a decision has been made to include the enhancement in question in the next 12-month roadmap.

It would be very helpful to learn from you more examples of why you strongly need to style custom field values. Please feel fee to provide those examples on this thread.

Kind Regards,

Mariam Paronyan

Yes, Alan! I think you nailed it!!!! Currently, we have something entered there...we want our copywriters to be able to edit the fields directly in the system instead of having to attach a word doc with the copy and changes

This comment speaks more to the Custom Forms post-submission...

Currently, reading the information on a completed Custom Form is much harder than it should be. This is a big pain point for when our team members try to sort through the info.

The only thing differentiating the questions from the answers is that the questions are a slightly lighter grey color. THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO CHOOSE HOW CUSTOM FORM DATA IS DISPLAYED.

PLEASE - give us colors, type weight, font size, etc. so that the important information can be easily read.

To add to this, it would be very helpful if we could manipulate the layout of a custom field. For example, if more than three radio buttons could be all vertically aligned, or listed below each other, rather than stacked three to a row (see below screenshot).

I would also like the "mailto" function, so that if my text contains an email address, it is clickable. At least if we could do color, bold or underline, I could fake it and make it stand out.

Formatting options similar to what was recently rolled out in Updates - bold, italic, underline, adding an external link, bullets... It would only apply to free-text fields.

Yes! It would be very helpful to have formatting options so that we could more easily read the data in the field! Many of my users request this.
