Hello,
I would like to create buttons allowing to add emojis in a text field. Like this :
Would that be possible ? Do you have any suggestions? I tried with a bot, but it only works once the message is saved and the execution is slow.
I believe one may not be able to easily mimic functionalities like a text editor using AppSheet app features. This means adding emojis at will in a text column using other enum column. Typically column value computations based on other columns are governed by AppSheet expression so a very flexible pattern may not be possible. You could possibly create columns to insert emojis at the end , beginning or certain fixed places, may be using concatenate function. But I believe it will be convoluted approach.
In mobile device as well on Windows PC, one can easily invoke emojis using some keyboard shortcuts.

THANKS ! Maybe I could use the suggested values option to allow the user to leave a quick comment. The idea was precisely to have the possibility of leaving a quick comment like in Slack. The ability to insert emojis while typing would be nice, but secondary.

" 
Attention",
" 
Occupied",
“? Party Time”,
“? Love it”,
" 
Bravo",
" 
Thanks",
" 
I don’t know"

The only problem with this alternative solution is that my comment field no longer has the behavior of a long text and I can’t do a carriage return with ENTER when I write a message.
Another solution would be to do it with an action, which works well, but unfortunately not in a form.
Maybe it could works using this to show inline button in form :
