I wanted to highlight a few related requests out there already:

> [@\[APPROVED\] Wrap Cells & expand Column option in Table View](https://community.fibery.io/t/approved-wrap-cells-expand-column-option-in-table-view/820):
>
> I know we have some table updates with the “batch editing” coming up, very glad to hear about that! On the subject of tables, I wanted to suggest the option to “wrap” the table view. This is a big piece of Notion that I’ve always found very useful. [image] It’s very useful if you want to see your related entities as a small “list” in a table. With Fibery’s sophisticated many-to-one, many-to-many, and one-to-one visuals, this would really give Tables a leg up. Notion can’t benefit here as a…

which is approved, and

> [@Table view Description field / Rich Edit fields in Table View](https://community.fibery.io/t/planned-table-view-description-field-rich-edit-fields-in-table-view/383/5):

> +1 to this. Coda I think has it better implemented since the wrap text function can be set per column not entire table. Being able to do something like this will be amazing: [image] I think when the rich text fields will be able to be shown on boards and tables, wrapping can be set at field level.

I’d really like to be able to see the contents of Rich Text Fields in Tables. This is a big benefit of Coda. You can’t do it in Notion, but Notion, unlike Fibery, has good Rich Text formatting in its “simple text” fields, which can be viewed and expanded in Table view. So if Fibery added some Rich Text capability in its “text” simple text fields, that would help a lot, too. What I mean is being able to write bullets, and ideally mention other entities. That request is here:

> [@More "Rich Text" in simple Text Box](https://community.fibery.io/t/more-rich-text-in-simple-text-box/984):
>
> I am trying to set up one of the features of both Coda and Notion that I found very useful and would love to be able to do in Fibery - use a “join” entity to show deep info between other entities. Ideally I’d like to be able to type into this Entity within another, for example during meetings. While we are waiting on the visibility of Rich Text fields within Tables and Collections, from this post: I think it would be very helpful to have some more ability in the “Text Box” Field: Ability …

Thanks!
