FAQ
What is the difference between a rich text field and a text field?
- A text field is mainly for plain text input.
- A rich text field supports formatting such as bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, headings, lists, links, and images.
- If you need structured long-form content inside a cell, use a rich text field.
How do I manage images inserted in a rich text field?
- Images inserted in the rich text editor are embedded in the cell content.
- This setup is not ideal for bulk export or centralized asset management.
- If you need to manage image files in one place, use the Image and Attachment field instead.
Why is the original formatting missing after export?
- When you export to Excel or CSV, the rich text field keeps only plain text.
- Formatting such as bold, color, and links is not preserved in the exported file.
- If you need to keep the original layout for reference, keep the original multidimensional table alongside the export.
