HTMLTEXT - No Edit

I have a Rich text box, using Power Apps - Customized Form on my SharePoint list. I found that I cannot display the HTML without removing the default box, and adding a new "HTML Text" box.

This works great for displaying existing data. (Note: Rich text is a requirement, I cannot set the field to plain text)

My challenge is, if I select New Form, the field does not allow editing.

Notes:

DisplayMode = If(SharePointForm1.Mode= FormMode.Edit, Parent.DisplayMode.View, Parent.DisplayMode.Edit)

HtmlText = ThisItem.'MyDataHere'

Hi @Portland ,
Use a RichTextEditor Control instead of HTML Text inside the desired datacard, the last is used only to display HTML code, not to edit it.
Set Default property to Parent.Default and DisplayMode to Parent.DisplayMode.

Hope it helps !

Well that was an "Easy Button" ha, almost too simple. Thank you!!!

PS, one follow up question, is there a way to make it have Auto-Height like the HTMLText? Not a deal breaker for me, but nice to have if possible.

@Portland ,
I'm affraid no ... There is a Height property on RichTextEditor, but I cannot figure it out howyou can to dinamically set this property to the desired height.
