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 canโt properly format the titles of their books.
The markdown formatting tools available in this Airtable community message editor would be perfect.
+1 Currently using Blocks to produce investment reports and without formatting the long text boxes become very hard to read and use. We are using lots of symbols to try and mix things up โ * : etc but not a very good workaround.
Another user that would really appreciate formatting capabilities in Airtable here.
Use-case: I have a table with a lot of information, and Iโd like to make the actionable items bold so that they stand out amongst the other cellsโ text. Markdown, or an equivalent, would be hugely helpful.
Hi I just started using Airtable yesterday for our business operating in IT services. We use github primairly for project management and all our issues on there are written using Markdown. If you use Zapier to create airtable records when an issue on Github is created you can copy over the issue description to a airtable long field. Only now we have all headings and styling missing from the original issue.
It would be great for our use case to be able to use markdown within a long text field. This will help adoption within my organisation.
It would be awesome for us using airtable for the purpose of documenting minutes and logs of our daily activities at startups. Airtable could have much wider capabilities if we could use markdown functionalities, even it wouldnโt be a long text field but new markdown field or anything.
new airtable user here, experimenting w/ moving whole team to pro but I was kind of shocked to see there was no rich text editorโฆ
would love to use markdown since thatโs kind of the defacto standard. I imagine a lot of users would appreciate a gui driven rich text editor (if that compiled to markdown that would be ideal for compatibility) just my 2ยข
The lack of rich text formatting in long text severely limits the usefulness of Airtable. If I want to brainstorm or create notes, I have to use a separate application or program because any โlong textโ quickly becomes unreadable without formatting.
Please prioritize this very common and highly requested feature.
