Use part of Rich Text in a text field

Hi!

I have a Rich Text field that will store a long text. I would like to take out the first 30 characters and use them in a text field as a preview of the content of the Rich Text field.

Does anyone know if this is possible? And how can I do that in that case?

Hi!

Sadly this is not possible today. Rich Text is stored in the database in a special format, and we do not have functionality for taking out a number of characters per now.

But thank you for writing to us. I’ll register a challenge on this!

Hi!

Thank you Shahitha.

Yeah, it would be great if someone created a solution for this. Is there a way to follow “challenges”? A way to stay updated if the functionality is developed?

Hi!

It is not possible to follow them, but you can keep an eye out for them on the release notes that comes with every new release of Appfarm Create :slight_smile:
