Dear all, A rich text editor would really be of interest, for users writing text or notes. I am currently achieving this by asking to the user, for example, to put “((” and “))” resp. before and after a word or sentence he wants to be in bold font (and I use of Substitute formula la replace the ((…

This is now available as the Notes component for New Apps (not Classic). You can enable it under Previews on your dashboard. It should release in the next week or so.
