It would be really nice to have the option to add a title for a rich text component, just as we have for the action text component.

Jen - it’s rich text, so you can pretty much do what you want. For example:

```auto
## This is the title

This is the body

```

Would appear as…

If you wanted the title and the body to come from two separate columns, then all you need to do is use a template.

Is there a way to get it to look exactly like the action text title? I tried before and it was off.

I haven’t tried, but I’m sure it could be done with CSS.  
But I guess the obvious question would be if you want it to look like Action Text, why not use Action Text?

Yes, I tried it with CSS.

I’m using rich text because there is text that is clickable in the data I’m pulling. (email, phone, number, etc.)

hmm, maybe I’m missing something, but isn’t that a good reason to use Action Text components instead of Rich Text. eg. with Action Text you can set the action to ‘Dial Phone Number’, ‘Open Link’, etc. But you can’t assign any actions to Rich Text.

Here’s an example. See how the email address is underlined and they can click on it, the same goes for a phone number. Action text doesn’t do that.

Oh thanks! I’m guessing I would have to create a template and use that as the rich text component?

The data from this column is coming from over 300 rows so I won’t be able to manually add it, it’ll have to be automatic.
