Hi,

I want to create a boolean that return a value based on if the record has a Description (rich text). But Rich text are disabled in the function editor…

Any suggestions?

Hi!

Does this need to be a function? For example, if you had a boolean runtime property with property type “Value”, you could update the boolean value manually from an action using a similar setup to the one below (possibly changed slightly for your use case):

This Action could be called On App Load or On View Load, for example.
