canvas app - edit form - add a RTF control to replace textbox: no record update

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I set up a new form with CRUD functions from scratch.
The Edit works, but not for the Rich Text Field "Bemerkung"

All I did was creating this gallery on the right side from the table "Symptome"
It creates a text box for "Bemerkung" automatically though the corresponding table column has the data type "Rich-Text"
The table column name is cra98_Bemerkung.

So I marked the EditFormSym on the screen's right side and inserted a RTF from the menu.
So now I have two fields displaying the content of the table column "Bemerkung".
But only if I change values in the textbox all is fine.
Changing values in the RTF control changes nothing at all! Why?

I played around with some properties with no success.
Particularly to me the data card value seems suspicious...

 

DataCard- Update property: DataCardValue3.Value

1st field Bemerkung
Value property: Parent.Default

 

2nd field Bemerkung (RTF)
Default property: Parent.Default

 

To change the DataCard's Update property from

DataCardValue3.Value to

RichTextEditor3.Value

fires an error "invalid name".

 

Any ideas?
thx

    Hi @candide,

    Modify the Update property to:

    RichTextEditor3.HtmlText

    thanks,

    and to display the plain text instead of the HTML formatted text in the gallery I used:

     

    Text property of the label:

    PlainText(ThisItem.Bemerkung)

     

    works great😀

    thx
