Sorry if I missed when this was released, but I just noticed now that you can add “Description” as a column in Table view:
I’m glad to see attention to this need. However, I’d like to still request that the actual text be visible in that field. The solution now allows for you to click that “page” icon and open a window with just a view of the Rich Text field. However, in our case most Rich Text Fields are at the top of an Entity, so this is not really any more helpful than simply clicking “open” at the left of the table.
I had some screenshots in this request that appears to have been deleted:
and the other posts above where I reference the Coda implementation also show some of this.
In summary, I’d still like to be able to read the contents of those Rich Text fields, or at least the beginnings of them via a snippet of text, when viewing them in Table View.
And just for the sake of the newcomers to this thread (thanks for supporting with votes!) of @corey.goss and @sohee, this request would also help this need:
If you could use those smaller fields with more Rich Text options, such as # entity mentions, you’d accomplish something similar.
I do hope you guys are still considering full visibility of the content of Rich Text fields in Table view, as well as in Collections - which is also a requested area.
Thanks!
