I’ve created a database that has several columns of plain text and one with rich text that contains instruction sets that I need to be formatted.
Every other time I access or edit one of the rich text cells, it will clear most of the formatting and its incredibly frustrating.
From the live database, I select a rich text cell, use formatting options such as font, font size, color, and alignment. Then I select outside of the cell to accept the changes. I can then open the same cell up just a few moments later and there’s about a 50/50 chance the font has defaulted back to Proxima with a size 15 font, the title’s center alignment is cleared, bullets and indented lines back all the way to the left, all black text, etc…
I’m trying to create a Rich Text in the database, I can select a field with Richtext. but in the form, I can’t select any form that allow me to use the rich text file. May I know how I can do this? I been searching for a while and I was really expected that WIX is a very simple to use site. but for some reason, I just can’t figure it out. please assist
I have exactly the same problem. The rich text formatting only holds like 20% of the time. I’m trying some shaman techniques to make it work.
What I’ve seen is that apparently there is an automatic function that changes the style attribute to fallback on default values (serif, 13px).
In practice, I would format my text, check the HTML, and when I go back to the rich text tab all the formatting would set itself back to these default values.
If I set a font, and then click outside the window to get out (and in theory save the changes) then preview my page, changes are not saved.
If I do the same procedure, but click the HTML tab after editing, and then go back to the rich text tab, I can see the formatting being reset to the “default” values. Previewing shows me that changes are still not saved.
If I copy my text in the clipboard before going to the HTML tab, the custom font gets inserted in the HTML style attributes. But it still doesn’t saves the changes. If I go back to the rich text tab, and then HTML tab again, all the style disappear. BUT if I reselect all of my custom formatted text BEFORE closing the window, my format actually gets saved
Hope that makes sense, and could help targeting the problem.
Edit : I am guessing that pasting HTML text directly in the rich text tab from another source might have something to do with that problem?
Yisrael, would greatly appreciate wix could fix this problem asap. It is hugely frustating and costing me a lot of hours going back in and making changes opnly to have them disappear some time layter. I have tried updating within the database itself and then following it up with a universal save and then (just to be sure) even publishing the changes only to find the fields have reverted back to the text I had before the fields were edited. Thanks.
I have seen this issue as well. it is independent of clicking outside of cell, saving publishing, syncing etc … . Very frustrating. I see these issue within the editor only.
I also have this problem. Whether I format with visual or html editor, many of my rich text entries default to proxima 17. Is there a place to set the paragraph 1-3 and header 1-6 styles for the databases?
