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](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.

In the meantime, this works well for me:

Copy your raw markdown  
Go to [https://markdownlivepreview.com/](https://markdownlivepreview.com/)  
Paste  
Copy the preview copy  
Paste into Fibery

The only thing I’ve found so far is that you still need to do is set the syntax on each code block.

I 100% agree

This is a very important feature that is missing IMO

I often have to paste text into another app and then paste it into fibery, as a conversion step, to get it to format correctly. (other similar apps handle this better than fibery…)

This is one of the usability issues that is preventing me from being able to rollout my personal productivity implementations to the wider team

I use many database entities in fibery with rich text, an example is as a note taking implementation, and as a meetings tracker

My request is that fibery handles formatting better in all use cases, e.g. pasting content from the web or a PDF

This allows you to control which views are visible depending on logged user fields values or entity fields values. To enable Hide Entity View rules, click Views on entity view → … near view name → Set up rules. In many setups, the same entity is used by different teams and across different workflow stages. Over time this leads to problems like: too many tabs on an entity, Views…
