Rich Text Options Everywhere (Not Just Updates)

I saw that someone had this suggestion for Updates (which is great), but I would love to be able to edit the style of text in tasks, issues, project details and custom forms too. It would really help to break up big blocks of instructions and call attention to particularly important information. Caps and punctuation only go so far.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I'm merging this idea with this one (https://one.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSjQAAW/detail) and marking this as "planned" since we will start development on this one very soon.


Best,

Adding a comment to this request to show support for it. Would be very helpful as we desperately need this functionality as well. Need formatting like Bolding, bullet points, numbering, and hyperlinks to be available on custom text fields (single line and paragraph) as well as out of the box fields like record description fields.


PLEASE STRONGLY CONSIDER THE BENEFIT OF ADDING THIS FEATURE!

Thank you for submitting this request, up voting for it and sharing your use cases. We fully understand the need behind this functionality and would like to have it in the system eventually, but we won't be able to invest in it during upcoming 12 months. So, I will be marking this as Not Planned for now, but please continue sharing your use cases since we will revisit the decision at some point in the future.


Thank you.

Anna Asatryan,

Product Manager, Workfront

We would like this as well for our copy team to be able to enter copy right into custom fields instead of uploading a Word doc to each project.

Rich text everywhere YES - and adding inline screen grabs for updates would increase usage of the platform. Since many user's don't want to create a word doc and then upload. Which technically defeats the purpose of being social....

It's great rich text option is now if WF, but I don't consider it a complete feature until it's distributed across the entire system. I think WF should prioritize finishing the rich text integration for consistency. Currently it frustrates my team more than it helps. Big miss in my opinion.

I see that there are 4 rich text related idea exchange postings with 101 up-votes across them. Does anybody know if Workfront is planning to do the rich text beyond just the Updates feed (I see that one is planned)?

couldn't agree more, same functionality as entering these ideas: Bold, Italics, Bullets, embedding photos, etc...

This is one of the things people at our Agency bring up consistently. I would love to see this feature enabled for task, issue, and project descriptions, as well as updates and custom forms! similar to what I can do in this comment field! :)
