Hi there,

I try to copy & past a html snippet into rich text type cell, it doesn’t take it and just went blank? Is this bug?

I want to do this then display in a rich text component to show list of links, thx!

```auto
<ul>
        <li><a href="https://forms.gle/n8BbwsgQXJcPFo9">form</a></li>
        <li><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VSH2BYYVmZgegAJXgwORi089gR9UT/edit">2/12 1:30-3pm workshop</a></li>

Are you trying to make it display it in a cell in the table or are you trying to display it in the app? To display it in the app, you need a rich text component that points to that column. Regardless, the column in the table doesn’t need to be a Rich Text type. A regular Text type will work.

It seems the cell only take Markdown, not html
