Allow pasting markdown in rich text field

Ideas & Features
1

Allow pasting markdown in rich text field, and this to automatically convert or show correctly.

2

I had the feeling, that pasting Markdown is interpreted already, but today i realised its not.

is this really not something that can be done? pasting markdown into a rich text having it interpret the markdown formatting correctly?

(apparently I made the roundtrip through clickup the other times, wich has the option to paste markdown with formatting)

I would really love this too. It is so helpful if you need to add some standard text to a bunch of different entities. I also would like to be able to use text expanders to just add some boilerplate content (including links) into a rich text field.

as a workaround you can add a button to append markdown to the rich text with an automation

Yes, I’ve been doing this as a workaround for boilerplate language. If actions could have keyboard shortcuts assigned to them, then that would work even better!

The one problem with append action is that it will always be at the end of the field not where you may necessarily want the text pasted

Last year I tried that converts markdown to rich text in a Fibery rich text field. I eventually did not work very well.

In the common use case of copying ChatGPT chats into Fibery, the following cumbersome process I’m still using because pasting it directly to Fibery causes issues, especially with code blocks:

  1. I installed the Chrome extension ‘ChatGPT to Markdown’
  2. I select text in ChatGPT
  3. I click the chrome extension, choose ‘Copy content’
  4. I navigate to https://www.switchlabs.dev/markdown-to-richtext
  5. I paste the text there, and click on ‘Convert’
  6. I copy the text and paste it in a Fibery entity rich text field.

I’m really interested if the Fibery team will work at pasting Markdown.

We will try to implement it soon
