Rich text editor doesn't work on the Wix Data page

Hi Tristan, I think I see the problem. I’m not sure if it qualifies as a bug — I’ll check with one of my colleagues. But, here’s the issue: Your field name is surrounded by square brackets, which indicates that it was added automatically because you saved that field data using code (either the wix-dataset or wix-data APIs). In other words, the data collection doesn’t really know what type of field it is because you never formally defined it.

To fix it:

  1. View your data collection from the Editor (the sandbox data) so you can make changes to the fields

  2. For the [descriptionmod] field, follow these instructions to add the field to the schema

  3. Change the name (if desired but at least to remove the square brackets), and change the field type to “Rich Text”
    Now when you click inside the field, even when it’s empty, you should get the rich text pop-up window. Hope this helps!
