Hello Gliders,

**We’re kicking off Phase 2 of our Inline Templates open beta.**

Inline Templates let you pull values from your data without having to create unnecessary template columns.

The first phase limited inline templating to Text components, as mentioned in [recent community updates](https://community.glideapps.com/tag/community-update). This new phase expands the scope to include:

- Rich Text component
- Hint component
- Send Email action
- Send Slack Message to Channel action
- All nine AI actions

You can enable Inline Templates from your team settings in the Glide dashboard:

**Our dev team is watching this thread, so please bring all your questions and comments related to Inline Templates here.**

Thank you! 🙌🏻

I cannot seem to access user profile columns when using this whereas previously I was able to. Is this a new limitation of this feature or a bug?

It’s a bug. They’ll be back shortly.

Hello,

Super useful feature, thanks a lot!

However, on my app it seems that the font size is not the same on the rich text component when using the new inline template feature as before. I’m using a ton of rich texts and it impacts the overall design of my product is it’s not the same font size. And I don’t want to re-do all my rich texts components. Is it fixable? Thanks a lot

There shouldn’t be any difference in font-size. Can you share an example?

Here is a loom [https://www.loom.com/share/5fcd31d0b3e2435bba95684f57ed6aaa?sid=9419b91e-ced4-4ce2-a5e0-6cc24a911d8f](https://www.loom.com/share/5fcd31d0b3e2435bba95684f57ed6aaa?sid=9419b91e-ced4-4ce2-a5e0-6cc24a911d8f),

and it also removes the line breaks. Thanks!

Hey @NoCodeAndy

Is it possible to use inline templates when designing an app for template store?
