We saw a need internally to have an option to set rich-text descriptions for each of our items.
Originally, it was made for internal use, as we lacked a way to describe the tasks that we’ve assigned to people internally.
Talking to a few companies we’re working closely with made us realize –we’re not the only ones who need more robust item descriptions. So here we are, sharing what we’ve made with the world!
Hi, I’m having trouble getting the Item Description subscription to stick. I’ve purchased it as far as I can tell, quit and restarted monday.com (and my computer) several times now, but the “buy a subscription” dialog keeps coming up. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. We’re on quarterly billing, if that makes a difference somehow?
This looks like a very promising app. I am considering to add this to our account. Could you please confirm if this can be connected to the description column on the board. It would be great if we can do that or use automations along with this plug in.
Description column in the board itself does not have any formatting options, so when we tried that, the text just looked off. On top of that, we save the text with a lot of metadata that allows us to create said formatting, so unless parssed (in which case, some of the data such as tables loses it’s context) - It is not even readable in the columns
Description columns have a character limit - The limit is around 2000 chars. In some cases, that might be sufficient, but in a lot of cases it is not.
Because of that, we had to abandon that idea.
I would love to hear your ideas about automations though, would you be willing to share any details how you would use those? You can either share it here, or email me directly at nmastilovic@spicytab.com
If not, is there a way to create an automation using the “Show update question” within the form and have the info that is provided there populate in the Item Description field of a task?
Our account is currently using the 2 week free trial and we are hoping to have this app solve for some issues we’ve been having with our intake workflow. If a way is found to incorporate this app into the forms on Monday, we really think this could be our solution.
We use an item description plugin to save data in rich text format on Monday.com. So my question is, could I read that same rich text data in one of the monday…com graphql APIs?
Good question. Even though draft descriptions are saved in monday’s storage, the way monday has built it - It is not accessible by anyone but the app using it. So, I’m afraid that the answer is no at this point.
