Description
Overview
The Description component provides a rich text editor for longer text content with formatting support. Unlike the text field which stores plain text, the description component supports bold, italic, headings, lists, links, and other formatted content.
Rich text content
Editor features
In forms, the description field renders as a rich text editor with an optional formatting toolbar. When the toolbar is enabled, users can apply:
- Bold, italic, underline
- Headings and paragraph styles
- Bulleted and numbered lists
- Links
- And other standard formatting options
Sections
The description component supports predefined sections — structured areas within the content:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Default sections | Pre-configured section headers that appear when creating a new record (e.g., "Summary", "Details", "Notes") |
| Allow user sections | When enabled, users can add their own custom section headers beyond the defaults |
Configuration
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Placeholder | Hint text shown when the editor is empty |
| Show toolbar | Display the formatting toolbar (hide for a cleaner, minimal editing experience) |
| Default value | Pre-filled content for new records |
In tables and list views, the description displays as formatted HTML content, truncated to fit the available space.
