Long text Column to be in HTML

Hi everyone,

Question with regards to the long text column option.

Is there a way this can be customized in HTML? I would like to add comments here to a project which I would like to highlight in a color or sum-up with bullet points.

Thanks for the help.

What about using the Item Description widget ‘inside’ the item instead?

Hi Rutger,

Yes, as a developer, you can customize the Long Text column using basic HTML tags depending on the platform’s support. You can use tags like <ul>, <li> for bullet points and <span style="color:blue;"> to highlight text in different colors. This allows you to structure comments clearly and make important points stand out. However, the level of HTML rendering depends on the platform’s configuration—some may strip advanced styling. For more control, a developer can implement integrations or automations to handle richer formatting externally if the native support is limited.

The description item card would be perfect if it wasn’t limited to to just that specific area. It would be great if it could be shown as a column. Without that, it is just lost data to most users.
