Hi all - I have a notes area related to products within my app, and I’d like to be able to add rich text/markdown notes and have them displayed as rich text, but right now it just shows the markdown. Is this possible or is it only possible to use the Notes component outside of a Collection?

You could use a Custom Collection, then you’d be able to add Rich Text components within the collection.

Ok, thanks. I’m trying that and while it’s showing the markup appropriately, I’m not able to customize the rules I was using with the previous collection to associate notes with specific, individual products only. Will keep messing with it.
