The **Required Fields** aspect of this request is becoming a greater need for my team. We are using liberally multiple Rich Text fields (which is great you can build entities with as many of these as you’d like!), and some are required. But it’s hard for my team to remember to fill them out.

I wanted to add to this just so it’s clear another good post about the need which is in another request - invoking a Fibery-esque transposing of that:

> [@\[APPROVED\] Colour coding of rich text fields for "is empty" and "is not empty"](https://community.fibery.io/t/approved-colour-coding-of-rich-text-fields-for-is-empty-and-is-not-empty/779/2):

> - Color-coding of fields (following customizable rules)

which incidentally uses the cool “quote” feature here in Discourse… that @Oshyan suggested might be useful to see come over to Fibery, too:

> That said, I have another idea that I’ve recently found great value in as I work more with Discourse, and would probably help with your need as well (though you may prefer the “extended” quoting as you describe). And that is: quotes but with a button you can click to expand the displayed quote _in-line_ . This is a brilliant feature of Discourse that I only recently noticed, and I wish more apps that are doing quoting and linking, etc. had this. Give it a try if you aren’t familiar, it’ll show up in the text I quoted from you above!
