I would love to see basic text formatting options for the long text field. At a minimum: bold and italic formatting would be a huge help.
I would like to use long text fields to store short bios for writers. But without the ability to have italic formatting, I can’t properly format the titles of their books.
The markdown formatting tools available in this Airtable community message editor would be perfect.
Exactly! This is a must! We need to store articles into fields. One can easily create a form for writers to upload their articles so they can be stored in a table. It’s would be a great solution for this purpose, but a wider formatting needs to be supported in “Long Text” fields. A copy paste from word should not lose it’s formatting. I really hope this can be added soon!
Though I’d also love to see field-tokening and save-as-HTML. Being able to do the Zapier side of document formatting, within Airtable, referencing field values and ideally, formula-generating some portion of long text, would be the jam.
The Long Text field remains our only real portal to decent document formatting…
In addition to bold and italics, creating new paragraphs and lists (that persist in emailed records) would help with our flow. In the example given above, an author with a multi-paragraph bio gets squished into one paragraph on email.
