Hi there,

I am a bit confused regarding the Kendo Text Editor box. It can only be used with a SharePoint multiline PLAIN text field right? If so, then how is this rendered in a SharePoint list view? Won't it just show the HTML? The editor seems great, but I am having trouble understanding how people use it in practice on the forms if it can't be displayed properly in list views.

Thanks!

Yes, currently it's only available for Plain text fields, at least as a preset Template. It would show up as HTML code in the table, but when you edit it, it would automatically convert back to Rich text in editor.

Alternatively, you can create custom template on a Rich text field and implement Kendo Editor in this way. Then it would save the formatting and display it in your list. You can read about this method in this article - https://spform.com/custom-fields/custom ... nline-mode
Cheers

This was really helpful. I did not know about the templates feature or what it was for. This opens up some possibilities. Thanks!
