Bug longtext html formatting

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a bug I just discovered on Appsheet, related to the Longtext data type. Specifically, when I select HTML format for a Longtext column, the entered information doesn’t display html format, see image. In the same application, with another table, does the HTML format work well?. Help is welcome.

That looks like a form input. Does it render the html in a non editing context like a detail view?

With form inputs I think we generally show the un-formatted raw text so it can be edited. However form inputs display as read-only when set by an AppFormula, as in this case. I’m not sure if we have a way to force it to render the html in a form context.

Yes, it’s a form view type. I only wanted to improve the visualization of the data that is not editable. Thank you very much

Try changing the column type to Show with a category of Text. I don;t know if it renders HTML, though.

No, absolutely nothing is displayed.:unamused_face:
